This study tested a single dose of the antibiotic oritavancin in 118 children aged 3 months to 12 years with acute bacterial skin infections. The goal was to see if it is safe and tolerable. Researchers also looked at how the drug works in the body and whether it cures the infection.
What this could mean

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a single-dose treatment option for children with bacterial skin infections, reducing the need for multiple doses.
