Figure Lengend Snippet: Susceptibility profile to Daptomycin of tested Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Minimal inhibitory concentration was determined using the broth-microdilution method (BMD) with and without Ca 2+ (50 mg/) supplementation (148 strains). Daptomycin non-susceptible strains (MIC > 1 μg/ml) were selected for Etest confirmation (81 strains)

Article Snippet: BMD was conducted in reference to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute recommendations.

Techniques: Isolation, Concentration Assay
