NCT ID NCT05571722
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether linezolid works better than vancomycin at preventing surgical site infections in people having elective surgery who are allergic to common antibiotics or at risk for MRSA. About 1,160 adults will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two antibiotics before their operation. The goal is to see which drug leads to fewer infections within the first year after surgery.
