Resumen
Las infecciones por bacterias grampositivas son una causa importante de morbilidad y mortalidad en los pacientes oncohematológicos y en los receptores de trasplante. Los estafilococos coagulasa negativa, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp. y los estreptococos del grupo viridans son los organismos grampositivos aislados con mayor frecuencia. La resistencia antibiótica en estos organismos es un problema en aumento y supone un reto terapéutico. Daptomicina es un antibiótico con una rápida actividad bactericida, de amplio espectro frente a bacterias grampositivas, incluidas las cepas resistentes a otros fármacos. En este artículo se revisan algunos aspectos de las infecciones por organismos grampositivos en estos pacientes inmunodeprimidos y se analiza con detalle la experiencia con daptomicina en el tratamiento de tales infecciones.

Abstract
Gram-positive infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in oncohematological patients and transplant recipients. The most frequently isolated Gram-positive organisms are the coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp., and viridans group streptococci. Antibiotic resistance in these organisms is increasing and poses a challenge to clinicians. Daptomycin is rapidly bactericidal against a broad spectrum of gram-positive bacteria, including strains resistant to other drugs. The present article reviews some aspects of Gram-positive infections in these immunocompromised patients and provides a detailed analysis of experience with daptomycin in the treatment of these infections.
