Summary

This study looks at whether giving two antibiotics early, instead of one, can clear a serious staph bloodstream infection faster and prevent new infections. About 300 hospitalized adults will be randomly assigned to receive either one or two IV antibiotics, then switch to pills once the infection clears. Participants are followed for 12 weeks after leaving the hospital.
