Fluorescently tagged daptomycin accessed the interior of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm cell clusters within minutes. The diffusion coefficient of daptomycin in the biofilm was 28% of its value in pure water. Daptomycin activity against staphylococci embedded in biofilms is unlikely to be limited by penetration of the antibiotic into the biofilm.

we call $h$ an $ss$-embedded subgroup of $g$ if there exists a‎ ‎normal subgroup $t$ of $g$ such that $ht$ is subnormal in $g$ and‎ ‎$hcap tleq h_{sg}$‎, ‎where $h_{sg}$ is the maximal $s$-permutable‎ ‎subgroup of $g$ contained in $h$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we investigate the‎ ‎influence of some $ss$-embedded subgroups on the structure of a‎ ‎finite group $g$‎. ‎some new results were obtained.
