Effectiveness of daptomycin against infective endocarditis caused by highly penicillin-resistant viridans group streptococci

Effectiveness of daptomycin against infective endocarditis caused by highly penicillin-resistant viridans group streptococci

Penicillin-resistant viridans group streptococci (VGS) infections are an emerging issue in infectious diseases. Here, we present a case of mitral valve infective endocarditis caused by highly penicillin-resistant VGS (minimum inhibitory concentration >4 μg/mL), which was successfully treated with...
