Daptomycin is licensed for the management of Staphylococcus aureus infections in adults, including those caused by meticillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Few data exist on paediatric use or dose guidance in neonates. We report the case of a neonate with MRSA bacteraemia successfully managed with daptomycin. Dose requirements were substantially higher than those recommended for adults.
