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.
