Abstract
Candida auris poses emerging risks for causing severe central line-associated bloodstream infections. We tested in vitro the ability of antifungal lock solutions to rapidly eradicate C. auris biofilms. Liposomal amphotericin B, amphotericin B deoxycholate, fluconazole, voriconazole, micafungin, caspofungin, and anidulafungin failed to completely eradicate all 10 tested C. auris biofilms. Conversely, nitroglycerin-citrate-ethanol (NiCE) catheter lock solution completely eradicated all replicates for all of C. auris biofilms tested.Entities:
