Abstract: We previously demonstrated the efficacy of a frozen dalbavancin–heparin (DH) lock solution against biofilms of staphylococci. However, as enterococci also commonly cause catheter-related bloodstream infections (C-RBSI), we assessed the bioactivity of frozen dalbavancin (D) and… read more here.

Abstract: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterococcus faecalis are major causes of hospital-acquired infections. Numerous clinical strains harbor a large pathogenicity island that encodes enterococcal surface protein (Esp), which is suggested to promote biofilm production and virulence, but this… read more here.
