Abstract

Daptomycin is a novel lipopeptide with activity against Gram-positive organismsincluding enterococci. It is licensed for the treatment of Staphylococcusaureus bacteraemia and right-sided endocarditis, but not endocarditisdue to Enterococcus spp. We report a case of enterococcal prostheticvalve endocarditis with an aortic root abscess in an elderly patient who wasnot fit for surgery. The patient's endocarditis relapsed 9 weeks aftera 6 week course of daptomycin.
