Abstract

Central -line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a serious complication of patients on long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) as well as oncologic patients on chemotherapy. Taurolidine-citrate solution (TCS) is a catheter-lock solution with broad spectrum bactericidal and antifungal activity that prevents biofilm formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of TCS in reducing CLABSI in patients with intestinal failure on long term PN and oncologic patients on chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant.
