Abstract

In September 2003, daptomycin (Cubicin; Cubist Pharmaceuticals) — the first member of a new class of antibiotics — was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Will its ability to treat infections resistant to many current antibiotics lead to significant market success?
