  • Title: Abiotrophia spp. and Staphylococcus epidermidis endocarditis treated with daptomycin.
    Author: Bishburg E, Ghuman D, Cohen A, Chan T, Nalmas S.
    Journal: ScientificWorldJournal; 2008 Aug 08; 8():793-5. PubMed ID: 18690383.
    Abstract:
    Endocarditis due to Abiotrophia spp. occurs in about 5% of endocarditis cases. Most of the cases respond to a combination of penicillin and gentamicin, or vancomycin. We describe a case of Staphylococcus epidermidis (CONS) and Abiotrophia spp. endocarditis that failed vancomycin treatment, but responded to daptomycin and rifampin.
