    Abstract:
    The use of daptomycin (DAP) in septic pulmonary emboli (SPE) remains controversial. We analyzed 29 cases of MRSA bacteremia complicated by SPE treated with DAP (n = 14) or DAP-ceftaroline fosamil (CPT; n = 15). Initial treatment with DAP monotherapy was found to have a success rate comparable with DAP-CPT (71% vs. 80%; p = 0.68).
