Daptomycin disrupts membrane potential in growing Staphylococcus aureus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Daptomycin (LY146032) caused a calcium-dependent dissipation of the membrane potential (delta psi) in Staphylococcus aureus without noticeably affecting the chemical gradient (delta pH) across the membrane. The effect of daptomycin on membrane energization may account for many of the inhibitory effects on macromolecular biosyntheses and membrane function reported for this antibiotic. Our evidence indicates that the bactericidal activity of daptomycin is dependent on an available delta psi.

Mechanisms 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 کاملCorrelation of daptomycin bactericidal activity and membrane depolarization in Staphylococcus aureus.
The objective of this study was to further elucidate the role of membrane potential in the mechanism of action of daptomycin, a novel lipopeptide antibiotic. Membrane depolarization was measured by both fluorimetric and flow cytometric assays. Adding daptomycin (5 micro g/ml) to Staphylococcus aureus gradually dissipated membrane potential. In both assays, cell viability was reduced by >99% and...
متن کاملEvaluation of telavancin activity versus daptomycin and vancomycin against daptomycin-nonsusceptible Staphylococcus aureus in an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model.
Daptomycin-nonsusceptible (DNS) Staphylococcus aureus strains have been reported over the last several years. Telavancin is a lipoglycopeptide with a dual mechanism of action, as it inhibits peptidoglycan polymerization/cross-linking and disrupts the membrane potential. Three clinical DNS S. aureus strains, CB1814, R6212, and SA-684, were evaluated in an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic...
متن کاملSerial daptomycin selection generates daptomycin-nonsusceptible Staphylococcus aureus strains with a heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate phenotype.
In order to better understand the mechanism of daptomycin resistance, we generated a daptomycin-nonsusceptible derivative strain, strain 10*3d1 (MIC = 3.0 microg/ml), by in vitro exposure of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain N315DeltaIP (MIC = 0.5 microg/ml) to daptomycin. We also obtained a daptomycin-susceptible phenotypic revertant strain, strain 10*3d1-10 (MIC = 1.0 microg/...
متن کاملDaptomycin pharmacodynamics against Staphylococcus aureus hemB mutants displaying the small colony variant phenotype.
OBJECTIVES Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants (SCVs) are slow-growing morphological variants associated with persistent infections. While vancomycin activity has been shown to be attenuated against SCVs of S. aureus, few data exist regarding daptomycin. The objective was to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of daptomycin against defined S. aureus mutants displaying the SCV phenotype. MET...
