Antimicrobial strategies to reduce polymer biomaterial infections and their economic implications and considerations
2019, International Biodeterioration and BiodegradationCitation Excerpt :Jansen et al. (1992) investigated commercially available Hydrocath catheters complexed in polyvinylpyrrolidone and showed inhibition of S. epidermis adherence for up to 48 h even against proliferating bacteria in a brain heart infusion media (BHI). Romano et al. (1993) demonstrated using a mouse model, that sections of Hydrocath catheters without a teicoplanin coating developed a relatively high level of colonisation by S. aureus or S. epidermidis. In addition, it was suggested that the sections of Hydrocath without teicoplanin coatings developed surrounding abscesses.
Effectiveness of teicoplanin versus vancomycin lock therapy in the treatment of port-related coagulase-negative staphylococci bacteraemia: a prospective case-series analysis
2009, International Journal of Antimicrobial AgentsCitation Excerpt :Teicoplanin achieved a significantly greater reduction in the counts of S. epidermidis adhering to polyurethane and silicone catheters compared with vancomycin in an in vitro model [14]. In an experimental mouse model, Romano et al. [15] showed that S. epidermidis colonisation of teicoplanin-loaded catheters was inhibited. Lee et al. [16] showed that staphylococcal biofilms were completely sterile after exposure to vancomycin (5 mg/mL) for 5 days and teicoplanin (5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL) for 7 days using an in vitro model.
