Comment: Daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide antibacterial with broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive bacteria [2]. It is a bacterial metabolite that was isolated from Streptomyces roseosporus [1]. Daptomycin rapidly depolarizes the bacterial cell membrane which disrupts DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and results in cell death.
