Failures in Clinical Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus Infection with Daptomycin Are Associated with Alterations in Surface Charge, Membrane Phospholipid Asymmetry, and Drug Binding

Abstract: Increasingly frequent reports have described the in vivo loss of daptomycin susceptibility in association with clinical treatment failures. The mechanism(s) of daptomycin resistance is not well understood. We studied an isogenic set of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from the bloodstream of a daptomycin-treated patient with recalcitrant endocarditis in which serial strains exhibited decreasing susceptibility to daptomycin. Since daptomycin is a membrane-targeting lipopeptide, we compared a number of membrane pa… Show more

“…In addition, loss of this membrane protein was correlated with decreased binding of daptomycin to isolated cell membranes and resistance to daptomycinmediated membrane potential dissipation. A recent report from Jones et al (2008) has corroborated these data demonstrating significant changes in membrane structure/ function in daptomycin non-susceptible isolates. In addition, vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) isolates have reduced susceptibility to daptomycin; a potential explanation is that the thicker cell walls associated with VISA strains may provide a physical barrier for the daptomycin (Cui et al, 2006).…”

“…Por otra parte, un estudio en hospitales de Europa, Latinoamérica, Australia, Nueva Zelandia e India demostró que más de 99 % de las cepas estudiadas era sensible a la daptomicina (89). El mecanismo de resistencia aún no está totalmente esclarecido, pero existen varias teorías, destacándose la hipótesis que postula que la bacteria adapta la superficie celular para mantener una carga más positiva con el fin de 'repeler' eléctricamente el complejo daptomicina-calcio (90). No obstante, se han reportado aislamientos resistentes a la daptomicina sin cambios en la carga de la superficie celular, lo que sugiere que existen vías alternas para el desarrollo de la resistencia (91).…”

“…Esta es una enzima bifuncional que se encarga de la adición de lisina (aminoácido de carga positiva) a residuos de fosfatidilglicerol en la capa interna de la membrana celular, formando lisilfosfatidilglicerol (L-FG), y de la translocación de L-FG desde la capa interna hacia la capa externa de la membrana (actividad de flipasa) (93)(94)(95). En cepas de S. aureus resistentes a la daptomicina se han descrito diversas mutaciones en el mprF (94) que parecen incrementar la actividad de esta enzima, contribuyendo al incremento de la carga positiva de la superficie celular (94)(95)(96).…”
