FIGURE 4.
Efficacy of daptomycin treatment in a mouse model of VREfm bacteraemia. VREfm blood counts in uninfected mice administered sterile rate faecal extract (SRFE) or in mice infected with the daptomycin-susceptible isolate DMG1800332 (green) or daptomycin-resistant isolates DMG1901766 (orange), DMG1700661 (blue), or DMG1700787 (purple), and treated with either saline (untreated) or 50 mg/kg of daptomycin (DAP treated). Each coloured circle represents one animal (n = 10–15 mice), with the median value displayed by the horizontal black line. Error bars represent the 95% CI. p-Values were calculated using a Mann–Whitney non-parametric test and are shown for the indicated groups; ns indicates no significant difference between groups (p ≥ 0.05).
