Antibiotic drip showdown: continuous vs. intermittent for bone infections

NCT ID NCT03246360

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at two different ways of giving the antibiotic cloxacillin to treat bone and joint infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Twelve patients received the drug both as a steady drip (continuous infusion) and as short doses (intermittent infusion) to see if the amount of drug in the blood was similar. The goal was to find out if one method works as well as the other, not to test a new cure.
