Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a sub-study of the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial (NCT05137119) wherein we will evaluate whether not giving rifampin in patients with probable or definite prosthetic valve endocarditis due to S. aureus is non-inferior to giving rifampin.
