Daptomycin for highly resistant Enterococcus faecium infection [PDF]
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012 We report a case series of 11 patients with severe E. faeciuminfections treated with daptomycin. All strains were resistant to ampicillin (MIC >8 mg/l), but susceptible to vancomycin. Seven out of 11 strains were also highly resistant to gentamicin (MIC >500 mg/l).
