Treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection with single-dose dalbavancin in persons who inject drugs.

Dalbavancin as a single-dose or 2-dose regimen had similar efficacy for the treatment of ABSSSI at all timepoints in the PWID and non-PWID populations. A single 30-minute IV infusion would eliminate the need for indwelling IV access. The convenience of a single dose supervised in a health setting may also optimize treatment adherence in the PWID population.
