The aim of this study was to confirm the daptomycin (DAP) susceptibility of bacteria isolated before the launch of DAP in Japan. DAP showed good activity against all 833 isolates (MIC90 = 0.25-0.5 mg/L for staphylococci, 0.5-4 mg/L for enterococci, and 0.25-0.5 mg/L for streptococci). This is the first report of the in vitro activity of DAP against Gram-positive cocci, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and enterococci, isolated in Japan.
