Gain-of-Function Mutations in the Phospholipid Flippase MprF Confer Specific Daptomycin Resistance

ABSTRACT Daptomycin, a calcium-dependent lipopeptide antibiotic whose full mode of action is still not entirely understood, has become a standard-of-care agent for treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Daptomycin-resistant (DAP-R) S. aureus mutants emerge during the...
