Comparative efficacy of daptomycin and vancomycin in the therapy of experimental foreign body infection due to Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
The therapeutic activity of daptomycin was compared with that of vancomycin in a rat model of subcutaneously implanted tissue cages chronically infected with strain Rev1, a spontaneous methicillin-susceptible revertant of the methicillin-resistant ...

Self-assembly of the cyclic lipopeptide daptomycin: spherical micelle formation does not depend on the presence of calcium chloride [PDF]
The cyclic lipopeptide Daptomycin, used as a treatment for infections where antimicrobial resistance is observed, is shown to self-assemble into spherical micelles above a critical aggregation concentration. Micelles are observed either in the absence or

Bone penetration of daptomycin in diabetic patients with bacterial foot infections
Objectives: Daptomycin has shown clinical efficacy in diabetic foot infections (DFI). However, only limited data are available on its bone penetration in this particular population. The aim of this study was to determine daptomycin bone concentrations in
