Dalbavancin treatment for Gram-positive PJIs resulted in a similar outcome to SoC, with excellent safety and low rate of adverse effects. Dalbavancin seems to be a promising antimicrobial against PJIs by reducing the risk of Gram-positive re-infections and allowing a less frequent dosage with potential outpatient IV treatment.
