The isolates were previously characterized and showed resistance to the antibiotics normally used against grampositive cocci. Daptomycin was active against 100% of the isolates (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC 90 ] ¼ 0.5 mg=ml, for both species). This antibiotic shows good in vitro activity; therefore, it is an excellent therapeutic alternative against these isolates.
