Abstract
The killing activity of daptomycin against an isogenic pair of daptomycin-susceptible and daptomycin-nonsusceptible (DNS) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains was enhanced by the addition of certain cell wall agents at 1× MIC. However, when high inocula of the DNS strain were used, no significant killing was observed in our experiments. Cytochrome c binding assays revealed d-cycloserine as the only agent associated with a reduction in the cell surface charge for both strains at the concentrations used.
