Acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections (ABSSSIs) are common causes of hospital admissions. These infections are often caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; therefore, vancomycin remains a commonly used therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients treated with vancomycin monotherapy vs combination therapy with clindamycin for ABSSSIs.
