Soft tissue and bone penetration abilities of daptomycin in diabetic patients with bacterial foot infections

Abstract

With the reservation that pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic targets for daptomycin in tissues are currently not established, we conclude that daptomycin given at intravenous doses of 6 mg/kg body weight once daily may be considered an effective treatment regimen in diabetic patients suffering from bacterial foot infection and osteomyelitis.
