Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous access device-related bloodstream infection (VAD-BSI) with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Standard systemic antimicrobial therapy for uncomplicated VAD-BSI with methicillin-resistant CoNS consists of intravenous (IV) vancomycin (vanco). This requires hospitalization, needs new competent venous access, exposes patients to potential toxicity (mainly renal) and increases the risk of commensal flora dysbiosis with selection of vanco-resistant enterococci. Combined with VAD management (removal or antibiotic locks), oral minocycline (mino) has been evaluated as an alternative systemic therapy for the treatment of uncomplicated VAD-BSIs with CoNS at our center, primarily when the reference treatment with IV vanco was not possible (renal failure or allergy) or when hospitalization was refused by patients. Here, we retrospectively report our single center experience with this mino-based approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2012 to December 2020, 24 uncomplicated VAD-BSIs with CoNS in 23 alloHCT patients were treated with oral mino as systemic antibiotic therapy in combination with VAD management. VAD were implantable ports (n = 17), tunneled catheter (n = 1) or PIC-lines (n = 6). Staphylococci were S. epidermidis (n = 21) or S. haemolyticus (n = 3). Mino was administered with a loading dose of 200 mg followed by 100 mg BID for 7-14 days. For 8 VAD-BSIs, patients were initially treated with IV vanco for the first 1-3 days followed by oral mino, while 16 VAD-BSIs were treated with oral mino as the sole antimicrobial agent for systemic therapy. VAD management consisted of catheter removal (for tunneled catheters and PIC-lines, n = 7) or antibiotic locks with vanco (n = 15) or gentamicin (n = 2) administered at least 3 times a week for 14 days (for ports). RESULTS Overall, clearance of bacteremia (as assessed by negativity for the same CoNS of surveillance peripheral blood cultures drawn between day+ 3 and +30 after initiation of systemic therapy) was achieved in all but 1 patient (with port) who had persistent bacteremia at day +9. No complication such as suppurative thrombophlebitis, endocarditis, distant foci of infection or BSI-related death was observed in any patient during the 3-month period after initiation of treatment. Regarding the 17 port-BSI cases for which VAD conservative strategy was attempted, failure of 3-month VAD preservation was documented in 7/17 cases and 3-month recurrence of VAD-BSI was observed in 3/17 cases (with 1 patient with cellulitis). Treatment with mino was well tolerated except for a mild skin rash in one patient. CONCLUSION Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate efficacy and safety of this approach.

Usefulness of daptomycin lock therapy in children with catheter-related bacteremia after failed vancomycin lock therapy. Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob 2023; 22:48.

Abstract
PURPOSE Catheter-related bacteremia (CRB) is a significant cause of morbidity, resource expenditure and prolonged hospital stays in patients with long-term catheters, whose numbers have increased considerably in recent years. Antibiotic lock therapy reaches high concentrations in the catheter, allowing good penetration into the biofilm, being vancomycin the most commonly used one in gram-positive infections. Several authors have recently reported the superior in vitro efficacy of daptomycin compared with vancomycin, especially for eradicating biofilms. Although there is some data on the use of daptomycin for antibiotic lock in animal models and adults, there are no data on its use in children. METHODS A descriptive study was conducted in a tertiary hospital, including patients younger than 16 years in whom daptomycin lock therapy was employed between 2018 and 2022. RESULTS We report three pediatric patients in whom CRB was confirmed on admission by paired blood cultures positive for CoNS sensitive to vancomycin, daptomycin and linezolid. All patients started vancomycin lock therapy and systemic antibiotic therapy with proven sensitivity for the isolated bacteria, without achieving negative blood cultures. Due to the persistence of positive cultures, vancomycin lock therapy was replaced by daptomycin, and blood cultures turned negative, with no relapses or need for catheter removal. CONCLUSION The use of daptomycin lock therapy could be considered in children with CoNS catheter infection, especially when other antibiotic lock therapy had failed.

Abstract
We aimed to describe the outcome of totally implantable venous-access port (TIVAP)-related infections due to Gram-negative aerobic bacilli (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Pseudomonas spp., Acinetobacter spp., and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia), or GNAB, and assess the safety of conservative treatment. We conducted a retrospective study in a French teaching hospital, from January 2016 to December 2020, including adult patients treated for TIVAP-related infection due to GNAB. Success of conservative treatment was defined as a functional TIVAP 3 months after infection with no recurrence. We performed a bivariate analysis and analyzed causes for treatment failure. We included 68 patients (53 TIVAP-related bloodstream infections, 11 TIVAP-related infections, and 4 probable TIVAP-related infections) due to GNAB, mostly P. aeruginosa (50/68, 74%). TIVAP removal was initially decided for 49/68 patients (72%). Among the 19/68 (28%) patients with conservative treatment (all for infections caused by P. aeruginosa), 5/19 (26%) had successful treatment, 7/19 (37%) experienced failure (without sepsis or septic shock), 6/19 (32%) died within 3 months without TIVAP removal and no signs of infection recurrence, and 1 patient had TIVAP removal as it was no longer required. TIVAP-related infections caused by GNAB frequently require TIVAP removal. Conservative treatment can be performed in selected patients with a non-complicated infection caused by P. aeruginosa, who can benefit from the continuation of antineoplastic chemotherapy or palliative care. Treatment failures were not associated with sepsis or septic shock.

In Vivo Effectiveness of Several Antimicrobial Locks To Eradicate Intravascular Catheter Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Biofilms. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2023; 67:e0126422.

Abstract
Tunneled central venous catheter (TCVC) related infection remains a challenge in the care of hemodialysis patients. We aimed to determine the best antimicrobial lock therapy (ALT) to eradicate coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) biofilms. We studied the colonization status of the catheter every 30 days by quantitative blood cultures (QBC) drawn through all catheter lumens. Those patients with a significant culture (i.e.,100 to 1,000 CFU/mL) of a CoNS were classified as patients with a high risk of developing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). They were assigned to receive daptomycin, vancomycin, teicoplanin lock solution, or the standard of care (SoC) (i.e., heparin lock). The primary endpoint was to compare eradication ability (i.e., negative QBC for 30 days after ending ALT) rates between different locks and the SoC. A second objective was to analyze the correlation between ALT exposure and isolation of CoNS with antimicrobial resistance. Daptomycin lock was associated with a significant higher eradication success than with the SoC: 85% versus 30% (relative risk [RR] = 14, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.4 - 82.7); followed by teicoplanin locks with a 83.3% success (RR = 11.7; 95% CI = 2 - 70.2). We observed CoNs isolates with a higher teicoplanin MIC in patients with repeated teicoplanin locks exposure (coefficient = 0.3; 95% CI = 0.11 - 0.47). However, teicoplanin MICs decreased in patients treated with vancomycin locks (coefficient = -0.56; 95% CI = -0.85 - -0.02). Methicillin-resistance decreased with accumulative ALT (RR = 0.82; 95% CI = 0.69 - 0.98). In this study, daptomycin locks achieve the highest eradication rate of CoNS from hemodialysis catheters in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a life-threatening complication of parenteral nutrition. Therefore, optimal management, ideally with catheter salvage, is required to maintain long-term venous access. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate successful catheter salvage rates in patients on home parenteral nutrition (HPN). METHODS Studies were retrieved from medical databases, conference proceedings, and article reference lists. Data were collected relating to clinical outcomes of 3 treatments: systemic antibiotics, antimicrobial lock therapy (ALT), and catheter exchange. ORs and 95% CIs were calculated from a mixed logistic effects model. RESULTS From 10,036 identified publications, 28 met the inclusion criteria (22 cohort studies, 5 case-control studies, and 1 randomized clinical trial), resulting in a total of 4911 CRBSIs. To achieve successful catheter salvage, the addition of an antimicrobial lock solution was superior to systemic antibiotics alone (OR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.21, 2.53; P = 0.003). Recurrence of infection was less common in studies that used ALT than in those that used systemic antibiotics alone (OR: 0.26; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.61; P = 0.002). The catheter exchange group was excluded from multilevel regression analysis because only 1 included study applied this treatment. Successful salvage rates were highest for coagulase-negative staphylococci, followed by Gram-negative rods and Staphylococcus aureus . CONCLUSIONS The addition of an antimicrobial lock solution seems beneficial for successful catheter salvage in HPN-dependent patients with a CRBSI. Future prospective randomized studies should identify the most effective and pathogen-specific strategy.This review was registered at www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO as CRD42018102959.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Catheter related blood stream infections is a complication in patients with central venous catheter. The aim of this study was to compare vancomycin-heparin-lock and non-heparin, high-dose vancomycin-lock as treatment in patients admitted to palliative home care. With non-heparin, high-dose vancomycin-lock a high concentration of 5 mg/mL vancomycin is attained instead of only 500 ug/mL when dissolved in heparin. The non-heparin method also has the advantage of being easier and cheaper but might entail an increased risk of clotting. METHODS Medical records from patients enrolled at a palliative home care unit in Stockholm between 2016 and 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Three divisions used vancomycin-heparin-lock and the other 3 divisions used non-heparin, high-dose vancomycin-lock. Inclusion criteria were a central venous catheter related blood stream infection treated with one of the two methods for >7 days and a follow-up blood culture at the end of treatment. RESULTS Twenty-five patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 12 treated with vancomycin-heparin-lock and 13 with non-heparin, high-dose vancomycin-lock. There was no significant difference in resolved infections between the two treatments, 6 of 12 for vancomycin-heparin-lock and 10 of 13 for non-heparin, high-dose vancomycin-lock (p = .23). In the non-heparin group one central venous catheter was removed due to clotting although the infection had resolved. Overall, removal of central venous catheter was similar in the two groups (6 of 12 and 4 of 13, p = .43). CONCLUSION The current study does not support superiority of one treatment over the other. However, larger, randomized studies are needed, before firm conclusions can be drawn.
