Resistance studies with daptomycin.
We studied the in vitro emergence of resistance to daptomycin using three methods: spontaneous resistance incidence, serial passage in the presence of increasing drug concentrations, and chemical mutagenesis. No spontaneously resistant mutants were obtained for any organism tested (<10(-10) for Staphylococcus aureus, <10(-9) for Staphylococcus epidermidis, <10(-9) for Enterococcus faecalis, <10...
متن کاملEmergence of daptomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium during daptomycin therapy.
Daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic that has been available in the United States since September 2003. We report a clinical and bacteriological failure of daptomycin therapy for enterococcal bacteremia. Briefly, a 22-year-old man with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, subsequent acute myelogenous leukemia, and nonseminomatous testicular carcinoma developed neutropenic fever during chemotherapy in 2...
متن کاملMechanisms of daptomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
Daptomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus emerged during therapy of tricuspid endocarditis. Susceptibility to daptomycin of the parent strain (SA-675), other daptomycin-susceptible strains and the non-susceptible mutant (SA-684) was heterogeneous; however, subpopulations growing at concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were not stably resistant. Stable resistance ...
متن کاملMechanisms of resistance to daptomycin in Enterococcus faecium.
In this study, we investigated the clonal emergence of daptomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains isolated from a patient with leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome. The resistance mechanism in these strains is independent of either equivalent point mutations previously described for Staphylococcus aureus or daptomycin inactivation mechanisms identified in soil bacteria.
متن کاملTreatment failure resulting from resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to daptomycin.
Daptomycin, a new cyclic lipopeptide, was recently approved for the treatment of infections by gram-positive organisms, including infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A patient infected with infected with MRSA developed resistance to daptomycin after prolonged exposure, which resulted in clinical failure. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of daptomycin...
