In vitro analyses of ethanol activity against Candida albicans biofilms.

Hallie S Rane1, Stella M Bernardo, Carla J Walraven, Samuel A Lee.   

Abstract

Candida albicans is a common cause of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI). Ethanol (EtOH) lock therapy has been attempted despite limited data on optimal dose and duration. Concentrations of 35% EtOH or higher for a minimum of 4 h demonstrated a >99% reduction in mature C. albicans biofilm metabolic activity and prevented regrowth. Concentrations of 10% EtOH or higher reduced C. albicans biofilm formation by >99%. Further investigation of EtOH lock therapy for treatment and prevention of C. albicans CR-BSI is warranted.
