abstract：:Daptomycin-nonsusceptible (DAP-NS) Staphylococcus aureus often exhibits gain-in-function mutations in the mprF gene (involved in positive surface charge maintenance). Standard β-lactams, although relatively inactive against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), may prevent the emergence of mprF mutations and DAP-NS....
