Published in 2022 at "FEMS microbiology letters"

DOI: 10.1093/femsle/fnac063

Abstract: Daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide used in the treatment of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm). However, the development of daptomycin-resistant VREfm challenges the treatment of nosocomial VREfm infections. Resistance mechanisms of daptomycin are not fully understood.… read more here.
