Comparative Efficacies of Antimicrobial Catheter Lock Solutions for Fungal Biofilm Eradication in an in Vitro Model of Catheter-Related Fungemia
Fungal catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs)-primarily due to Candida species-account for over 12% of all CRBSIs, and have been progressively increasing in prevalence. They present significant health and economic burdens, and high mortality rates. Antimicrobial catheter lock solutions are an important prophylactic option for preventing fungal CRBSIs. In this study, we compared the ef...
متن کاملComparative in vitro efficacies of various catheter lock solutions.
MEDTA (minocycline-edetate calcium disodium), taurolidine (2%)-polyvinylpyrolidine (5%) (T/PVP), and ethanol as potential catheter lock solutions have a unique mechanism of action, broad-spectrum activity, and anticoagulant properties. Traditional lock solutions minocycline (M), rifampin (R), ciprofloxacin (C), and vancomycin, except pharmacologic concentrations of C and R and of M and R, were ...
متن کاملIn vitro efficacies of caspofungin or micafungin catheter lock solutions on Candida albicans biofilm growth.
OBJECTIVES Caspofungin and micafungin belong to the echinocandins; the mechanism of action of echinocandins is based on the inhibition of (1,3)-beta-D-glucan synthase. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro the optimal antifungal lock treatment details against a Candida albicans biofilm. METHODS An in vitro model of a C. albicans (ATCC 3153 or ATCC 66396) biofilm associated with 10...
متن کاملUse of antimicrobial catheter lock solutions to prevent catheter-related bacteremia.
Catheter-related bacteremia is an important source of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. A number of well-designed, controlled, prospective trials using antimicrobial catheter lock solutions to prevent catheter-related bacteremia have shown a dramatic, statistically significant decrease in not only infection but also mortality related to catheter-related bacteremia. Despite evide...
متن کاملChelator-based catheter lock solutions in eradicating organisms in biofilm.
Two different chelator-based antimicrobial catheter lock solutions, methylene blue-citrate-parabens (MB-CIT) and minocycline-EDTA-25% ethanol (M-EDTA-25% ETOH), were compared in 2-h biofilm eradication experiments. Eradication of both mature and immature Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and fungal biofilms was assessed. M-EDTA-25% ETOH was able to fully eradicate all biofilms within 2 h. MB-CIT wa...
