Summary

This trial tests a treatment with a long-lasting antibiotic called dalbavancin for people who use drugs and have serious infections. The goal is to make it easier for these patients to complete their treatment and address their substance use disorder. The antibiotic works by staying in the body longer, reducing the need for prolonged IV access. Dalbavancin is effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA, and is used for serious infections, especially in patients who have difficulty adhering to traditional treatment plans.
