Antimicrobial activity of B-Lock against bacterial and Candida spp. causing catheter-related bloodstream infections.

M A Ghannoum1, N Isham, M R Jacobs.   

Abstract

The triple combination trimethoprim, EDTA, and ethanol (B-Lock), is an antimicrobial lock solution for use in indwelling intravascular catheters to prevent and treat catheter-associated infections. B-Lock demonstrated MICs of ≤0.05% (percentage of solution) against Candida spp. (n = 125) and 0.003% to 25% against bacterial strains (n = 175). B-Lock was also fungicidal against the majority of the Candida strains at 6% to 25%. B-Lock demonstrates potential value for the prevention and treatment of catheter-associated infections.
