Abstract
Daptomycin is inactivated by pulmonary surfactant, but its effectiveness in hematogenous pulmonary infection has been poorly studied. The potential therapeutic application was evaluated in a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) hematogenous pulmonary infection mouse model. Compared with control results, daptomycin improved survival (P < 0.001) and decreased the number of abscesses and bacteria in the lungs (P < 0.01). Daptomycin may be an effective therapeutic option for MRSA hematogenous pulmonary infection.Entities:
