Summary

This trial will compare two common treatments, vancomycin and daptomycin, for patients with MRSA bloodstream infection. It is part of a larger approved study called The Staphylococcus

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with a serious blood infection caused by a bacteria called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It's open to those who haven't been treated yet. Specific eligibility details are not provided, but typically participants need to meet certain health standards.
What is being tested?
The study compares two drugs: Daptomycin and Vancomycin, both given through injection. It aims to find out which one is better at treating MRSA bloodstream infections. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of the treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from these antibiotics may include digestive issues, potential kidney damage, muscle pain or weakness, and infusion-related reactions. Each person might experience side effects differently.
