We investigate dalbavancin efficiency and tolerance among elderly in Grenoble-Alpes 32 university hospital. Among the 65 patients who received dalbavancin, 51% (33) were considered as old. Patients presented mainly bones and joint infections (52%), surgical site infection 34 (31%), and infective endocarditis (IE) (8%). Clinical cure was confirmed for 79% of old 35 patients at 1, 3, and 6 months. Six adverse events (9%) were reported after 36 dalbavancin's administration, but each time in combination with other antibiotics. 37 Dalbavancin had a significant effectiveness and safety profile and represents a real 38 therapeutic option in the management of deep and complex infections of elderly patients.
