Variability of daptomycin MIC values for enterococcus faecium when measured by reference broth microdilution and gradient diffusion tests

Daptomycin has become a mainstay therapy for the treatment of serious vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium infections. However, concern exists that current testing methods do not accurately predict the clinical success of daptomycin therapy. We evaluated a collection of 40 isolates of E. faeciu...
