Tackling catheter‐associated urinary tract infections with next‐generation antimicrobial technologies

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 312-335, March 2024.
Abstract Urinary catheters and other medical devices associated with the urinary tract such as stents are major contributors to nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs) as they provide an access path for pathogens to enter the bladder. Considering that catheter‐associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) account for approximately 75% of UTIs and ...

Prevention of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection by Poly (Hexamethylene Biguanide) Coatings: A Systematic Review

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences
Background: The significance of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is that it increases morbidity, mortality, and treatment costs. The incidence of infections is reduced by the use of antibiotic-impregnated dressings at the central catheter insertion site. In this context, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)-containing dressings have

Poly(hexamethylene biguanide) immobilized non-absorbable and antimicrobial PET fiber for surgical suture applications: synthesis, characterization and in vitro cytocompatibility assessment

Uluslararası Muhendislik Arastirma ve Gelistirme Dergisi
Surgical sutures are widely utilized medical devices for the purpose of closing wounds after surgical interventions. During surgical procedures, sutures can come into contact with microorganisms in the surrounding environment, leading to the development of bacterial biofilms and subsequent surgical site infections (SSI).

Screening-enhanced effect enables poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride to effectively overcome charge screening limitations

Abstract The charge screening caused by ionic strength always brings about negative effects. Poly(hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMB) was found to possess screening-enhanced effect and could effectively overcome charge screening limitations. However, the mechanism of action is unknown.
