Influence of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration in Clinical Outcomes of <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> Bacteremia Treated With Daptomycin: Is it Time to Change the Breakpoint?

Abstract

Daptomycin MICs of 3-4 µg/mL in the initial E. faecium blood isolate predicted microbiological failure of daptomycin therapy, suggesting that modification in the daptomycin breakpoint for enterococci should be considered.
