Characterization of skeletal muscle effects associated with daptomycin in rats.

abstract：:Muscle weakness, studied in 4 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), was compared with values from normal subjects. Twitch occlusion showed that normal subjects could activate their muscles maximally, but patients rarely achieved greater than 60% activation. In both groups, motoneuron firing rates increased linearly w...
