چکیده
The in vitro activity of daptomycin against 337 gram-positive European clinical isolates with known resistance genes was determined. The MIC ranges for Staphylococcus aureus, enterococci, pneunococci, and streptococci were 0.03 to 1, 0.25 to 8, 0.12 to 1, and 0.06 to 8 micro g/ml, respectively. For only one streptococcus isolate and seven enterococcus isolates was the MIC 8 micro g/ml.

The purpose of this study was to compare the activity of HMR 1043 with those of daptomycin and teicoplanin against gram-positive isolates. Susceptibility tests were performed for 52 strains, 26 parental strains, including staphylococcal, streptococcal, enterococcal, and listerial strains, and 26 HMR 1043-resistant mutants obtained from parental strains by using the Szybalski method. Agar diluti...
