Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The best therapeutic options for serious infections due to daptomycin nonsusceptible Enterococcus faecium (DNSE) remain unclear. We report the use of daptomycin for the treatment of DNSE bacteremia. To our knowledge, it is the fırst case of DNSE infection which successfully treated with daptomycin monotherapy in the literature.
