A Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Approach to Predict Daptomycin (DAP) Susceptibility of Enterococcus faecium

BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VRE) with DAP MICs close to the breakpoint (4 µg/mL) harbor genetic changes associated with DAP resistance (DAP-R). Further, DAP MIC was a predictor of poor microbiological eradication in patients with VRE bacteremia treated...
