Efficacy and safety of daptomycin versus linezolid treatment in patients with vancomycin-resistant enterococcal bacteraemia: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsCompared to linezolid treatment, daptomycin treatment showed comparable clinical and microbiological outcomes but a lower incidence of thrombocytopenia. Because of the dose-dependent effect observed, high-dose daptomycin should be considered for patients with VRE bacteraemia.
