DAPTOMYCIN READY MADE SOLUTION

Description_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Daptomycin is a natural cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic found in Streptomyces roseosporus. It is has been found to be effective in treating infections caused by aerobic Gram-positive bacteria. Daptomycin inhibits many antibiotic resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA)._x000D_ The mode of action of daptomycin is quite different from that of any other antibiotic. Daptomycin binds to bacterial membranes and causes a rapid depolarization of membrane potential. This loss of membrane potential causes inhibition of protein, DNA, and RNA synthesis, which results in bacterial cell death._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 0.5ML_x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ The 1 mg/mL solution may be further diluted in an appropriate buffer prior to use.
