Clinical Experience With Minocycline and Rifampin—Impregnated Central Venous Catheters in Bone Marrow Transplantation Recipients: Efficacy and Low Risk of Developing Staphylococcal Resistance
Formats Available in JSTOR: PDF
Abstract(back to top)
In this retrospective evaluation of the 4‐year clinical use of minocycline and rifampin–impregnated catheters in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) patients, we report low risk of development of staphylococcal resistance to the antibiotics coating the catheters and efficacy in preventing primary staphylococcal bloodstream infections.
