  • Title: Long-term use of daptomycin for MRSA osteomyelitis and joint infection.
    Author: Burns CA.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2008; 40(2):183-6. PubMed ID: 17852899.
    Abstract:
    This case describes almost continual daptomycin use for approximately 18 months in a patient with osteomyelitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The case is notable for only a brief episode of myalgia-associated creatine kinase elevations, which quickly resolved. Daptomycin demonstrated efficacy against this strain, which was tolerant to other antibiotics.
