description Administering and monitoring intravenous antimicrobials may cause discomfort in patients at the end of life and delay transition to hospice. We describe 3 patients with terminal cancer with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus gallolyticus, and Granulicatella adiacens bacteremia who were managed with the long-acting lipoglycopeptide oritavancin to facilitate discharge to hospice.
