Breakthrough daptomycin-, linezolid-, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium bacteremia during protracted daptomycin therapy: A case report

Infections with multidrug resistant (MDR) Enterococcus faecium (Efm) are a growing problem. Vancomycin resistance in enterococci has long challenged treatment, necessitating the use of linezolid or daptomycin.
