Dalbavancin, a lipoglycopeptide with prolonged half-life approved for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and soft tissue infections, can be used for the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive bacteria requiring long term treatment such as endocarditis, prosthetic joint infections (PJI) or osteomyelitis. Clinical data are limited in these settings.
