Daptomycin is a lipopeptide with bactericidal activity that acts on the cell membrane of enterococci and is often used off-label to treat patients infected with vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

faecalis has a cell envelope containing increased amounts of glycolipids, which are fat molecules linked with a carbohydrate. Enhanced production of cell envelope glycolipids appears to help the ...
