Daptomycin Exerts Bactericidal Activity without Lysis of Staphylococcus aureus

Daptomycin Exerts Bactericidal Activity without Lysis of Staphylococcus aureus Bactericidal Action of Daptomycin against Stationary-Phase and Nondividing Staphylococcus aureus Cells The action mechanism of daptomycin Rapid Bactericidal Activity of Daptomycin against Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Peritonitis in Mice as Measured with Bioluminescent Bacteria Daptomycin Produces an Enhanced Bactericidal Activity Compared to Ceftriaxone, Measured by [ ³ H]Choline Release in the Cerebrospinal Fluid, in Experimental Meningitis Due to a Penicillin-Resistant Pneumococcal Strain without Lysing Its Cell Wall Cell Wall Thickening Is Not a Universal Accompaniment of the Daptomycin Nonsusceptibility Phenotype in Staphylococcus aureus : Evidence for Multiple Resistance Mechanisms Activity of Daptomycin Alone and in Combination with Rifampin and Gentamicin against Staphylococcus aureus Assessed by Time-Kill Methodology Structure–Activity Relationships of Daptomycin Lipopeptides Antimicrobial Activities of Daptomycin, Vancomycin, and Oxacillin in Human Monocytes and of Daptomycin in Combination with Gentamicin and/or Rifampin in Human Monocytes and in Broth against Staphylococcus aureus Flow Cytometry as a Tool To Determine the Effects of Cell Wall-Active Antibiotics on Vancomycin-Susceptible and -Resistant Enterococcus faecalis Strains
