Abstract
The activity of daptomycin against 141 Staphylococcus aureus and 63 Streptococcus agalactiae isolates was assessed. The isolates were previously characterized and showed resistance to the antibiotics normally used against gram-positive cocci. Daptomycin was active against 100% of the isolates (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC(90)] = 0.5 microg/ml, for both species). This antibiotic shows good in vitro activity; therefore, it is an excellent therapeutic alternative against these isolates.
