The first abstract being presented examines in vitro antimicrobial activity of taurolidine against a set of recent clinical isolates representative of bacteria recovered from the LOCK-IT 100 trial and those commonly associated with CRBSI. Based on these data, taurolidine demonstrated broad antimicrobial activity against all gram-positive bacteria, including non-tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM), gram-negative bacteria, and fungal isolates tested. In addition, the activity of taurolidine was unaffected by resistance to common antibiotics.
A second abstract being presented highlights a retrospective analysis that was conducted to characterize demographics, outcomes and economics associated with the development of hospital acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) in patients receiving hemodialysis through a CVC while in an inpatient setting. During the study period, all-cause mortality for patients with HA-BSI was 27.8% and median length of stay was 25 days compared to 6 days for HD-CVC patients without a BSI.
The abstract details are included below.
