5-hydroxyethyl-3-tetradecanoyltetramic acid represents a novel treatment for intravascular catheter infections due tostaphylococcus aureus
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-12-20)Objectives: Biofilm infections of intravascular catheters caused by Staphylococcus aureus may be treated with catheter lock solutions (CLSs). Here we investigated the antibacterial activity, cytotoxicity and CLS potential ... -
Battling bacterial infection with hexamethylene diisocyanate cross-linked and cefaclor-loaded collagen scaffolds
(IOP Publishing, 2017-06-19)Implant infections remain a major healthcare problem due to the prolonged hospitalisation period required to disrupt and treat bacterial biofilm formation, and the need for additional surgery to remove/replace the infected ... -
Eradication of staphylococcus aureus catheter-related biofilm infections using ml:8 and citrox
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-07-25)Staphylococci are a leading cause of catheter-related infections (CRIs) due to biofilm formation. CRIs are typically managed by either device removal or systemic antibiotics, often in combination with catheter lock solutions ... -
In vitroapproach for identification of the most effective agents for antimicrobial lock therapy in the treatment of intravascular catheter-related infections caused by staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-02-29)Infection of intravascular catheters by Staphylococcus aureus is a significant risk factor within the health care setting. To treat these infections and attempt salvage of an intravascular catheter, antimicrobial lock ...
