Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic derived from Streptomyces roseosporus with potent bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria. It binds to bacterial cell membranes in a calcium-dependent manner, causing rapid membrane depolarization and disruption of membrane integrity. This depolarization leads to inhibition of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, resulting in rapid cell death without cell lysis in multidrug-resistant pathogens. [1][2]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
