Antimicrobial catheter locks: searching for the ideal solution.
In this issue of JASN, Campos et al. report a well performed, prospective, randomized clinical trial demonstrating the benefit of an antimicrobial catheter lock solution (ACL) containing minocycline and EDTA (M-EDTA) in the prevention of hemodialysis catheter-related bacteremia.1 It is unclear why most nephrologists do not use ACLs in this setting; a number of clinical trials consistently demon...
متن کاملSearching for the ideal forms of proteins.
A modification of the Structure Alignment Program (SAP), combined with a novel automatic method for the definition of structural elements, correctly identified the core folds of a variety of small beta/alpha proteins when compared with a series of ideal architectures. This approach opens the possibility of not just determining whether one structure is like another, but given a range of ideal fo...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of a novel catheter lock solution.
Intravascular catheter-associated bloodstream infections significantly increase rates of morbidity and hospital costs. Microbial colonization and development of biofilms, which are known to be recalcitrant to antibiotic therapy, often lead to the loss of otherwise patent vascular access systems. We evaluated a new taurolidine- and citrate-based catheter lock solution (Neutrolin; Biolink Corpora...

متن کاملStability of trisodium citrate and gentamicin solution for catheter locks after storage in plastic syringes at room temperature.
BACKGROUND Catheter-related infections are a major problem for hemodialysis patients with central venous catheters for vascular access. Catheter lock solutions containing an anticoagulant are used to maintain the patency of the catheter between hemodialysis sessions. There is evidence that the use of lock solutions containing an antibiotic is associated with lower rates of infection but also th...
