Primary: To determine the influence of daptomycin on inflammatory cytokine (IL-1, TNF and IL-6) for the treatment of complicated cellulitis/erysipela compared with alternative treatment (vancomycin or oxacillin). Secondary: To evaluate the clinical outcome of both groups according to levels of the cytokines evaluated.

Cytokine levels
The results of cytokine levels will be evaluated after completion of antibiotic therapy, when testing will take place in the laboratory. Thus the measurement of cytokines will not be used to evaluate the clinical outcome.
Time frame: AUC will be calculated with multiple time points over a period of 14 days (0, 4, 8, 12 , 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 and 168 hours post-dose)
