Anti-adherence activity and antimicrobial durability of anti-infective-coated catheters against multidrug-resistant bacteria

Abstract

M/R-CVC demonstrated superior anti-adherence activity and more prolonged antimicrobial durability when compared with other approved anti-infective catheters against MDR VRSA and/or MDR Gram-negative bacteria that are often associated with CRBSIs. This finding could explain their efficacy and better performance in clinical studies.
