Abstract

Daptomycin MIC values of 210 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from blood specimens in the Microbiology department, Bach Mai Hospital from July 2022 to June 2023 were determined by the broth microdilution method. 11 strains were randomly selected for analysis by the time-kill assay and for investigation of the effect of inoculum size on the activity of daptomycin and vancomycin named as the inoculum effect. 75.7% of strains are MRSA. All S. aureus isolates were found susceptible to daptomycin. The MIC values ranged from 0.125 to 0.75 μg/ml. The time-kill assay demonstrated that daptomycin had a bactericidal effect faster than vancomycin. Daptomycin was bactericidal at 8 hours for 9/11 strains (reduced 4.13-log10 CFU/ml, averagely) while vancomycin reduced averagely 2.15-log10 CFU/mL at 8h, compared with growth control tubes (without antibiotics). We calculated the MIC value of daptomycin and vancomycin at low, medium, and high inocula of S. aureus to investigate the effect of inoculum size on the activity of daptomycin and vancomycin. There is a significant increase in MIC values of both daptomycin and vancomycin. MIC values of daptomycin were increased over 256 times between the medium and high inocula and MIC values of vancomycin were increased over 112 times between medium and high inocula.
