Daptomycin Susceptibility of Unusual Gram-Positive Bacteria: Comparison of Results Obtained by the Etest and the Broth Microdilution Method

Daptomycin Susceptibility of Unusual Gram-Positive Bacteria: Comparison of Results Obtained by the Etest and the Broth Microdilution Method Activity of Daptomycin against Listeria monocytogenes Isolates from Cerebrospinal Fluid Nine-Hospital Study Comparing Broth Microdilution and Etest Method Results for Vancomycin and Daptomycin against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Vancomycin MICs for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Differ Based upon the Susceptibility Test Method Used Can the Etest Correctly Determine the MICs of β-Lactam and Cephalosporin Antibiotics for Beta-Lactamase-Negative Ampicillin-Resistant Haemophilus influenzae ? Underestimation of Vancomycin and Teicoplanin MICs by Broth Microdilution Leads to Underdetection of Glycopeptide-Intermediate Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus Activity of Daptomycin Alone and in Combination with Rifampin and Gentamicin against Staphylococcus aureus Assessed by Time-Kill Methodology Comparison of Anidulafungin MICs Determined by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute Broth Microdilution Method (M27-A3 Document) and Etest for Candida Species Isolates Inhibitory and Bactericidal Activities of Daptomycin, Vancomycin, and Teicoplanin against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Collected from 1985 to 2007 Correlation between Vancomycin MIC Values and Those of Other Agents against Gram-Positive Bacteria among Patients with Bloodstream Infections Caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
