Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic administered intravenously as a powder for injection. It treats serious gram-positive bacterial infections including bacteremia, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and skin/soft tissue infections, particularly those caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The drug works by disrupting bacterial cell membrane integrity, leading to rapid bactericidal activity.
Recent 2024 approval positions this as an emerging growth product with expanding market opportunity and expanding team headcount for commercial and medical functions.
