Abstract
INTRODUCTION The possible use of dalbavancin as a catheter lock solution was previously demonstrated by our study group. However, it was needed to assess whether heparin could affect dalbavancin bioactivity during freezing storage. METHODS We tested the bioactivity of a dalbavancin+heparin (DH) vs. dalbavancin (D) against Staphylococcal biofilms comparing DH median value of cfu counts and metabolic activity with that obtained for D before and during storage under freezing up to 6 months. RESULTS Despite there was a slight decrease in the median percentage reduction of metabolic activity at month 3 in Staphylococcus epidermidis between DH and D (97.6 vs. 100, p=0.037), considering the clinical criteria, no significant reduction in any of the variables tested was observed at the end of the experiment between D and DH solutions. CONCLUSION The addition of heparin to a dalbavancin lock solution did not affect its bioactivity against staphylococcal biofilms irrespective of its preservation time under freezing.

Abstract
Background The differential time to positivity (DTTP) technique is recommended for the conservative diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infection (C-RBSI). The technique is based on a 120-minute difference between microbial growth in blood drawn through the catheter and blood drawn through a peripheral vein. However, this cut-off has failed to confirm C-RBSI caused by Candida spp. and Staphylococcus aureus. Objective We hypothesized that the biofilm of both microorganisms disperses faster than that of other microorganisms and that microbial load is rapidly equalized between catheter and peripheral blood. Therefore, our aim was to compare the biofilm dynamics of various microorganisms. Methods Biofilm of ATCC strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans was grown on silicon disks and analyzed using time-lapse optical microscopy. The time-lapse images of biofilms were processed using ImageJ2 software. Cell dispersal time and biofilm thickness were calculated. Results The mean (standard deviation) dispersal time in C. albicans and S. aureus biofilms was at least nearly 3 hours lower than in biofilm of S. epidermidis, and at least 15 minutes than in E. faecalis and E. coli biofilms. Conclusion Our findings could explain why early dissemination of cells in C. albicans and S. aureus prevents us from confirming or ruling out the catheter as the source of the bloodstream infection using the cut-off of 120 minutes in the DTTP technique. In addition, DTTP may not be sufficiently reliable for E. coli since their dispersion time is less than the cut-off of 120 minutes.

Abstract
Irrigation and debridement using an irrigation solution is a fundamental step during the surgical treatment of both acute and chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, there is no consensus on the optimal solution, nor is there sufficient evidence on the optimal irrigation time and combination of solutions. Therefore, it is necessary to determine which solution or combination of solutions is most efficacious against biofilm, as well as the optimal irrigation time. We conducted an experimental in vitro model by inoculating stainless steel discs with ATCC strains of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a clinical strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The discs were all irrigated with commonly used antiseptic solutions (10% and 3% povidone iodine, hydrogen peroxide, 3% acetic acid, and Bactisure™) for 1 min, 3 min, and 5 min and their combinations for 9 min (3 min each) vs. sterile saline as a positive control. We evaluated the reduction in biofilm based on colony-forming unit (cfu) counts and in combination assays, also based on cell viability and scanning electron microscopy. All antiseptics alone reduced more than 90% of cfu counts after 1 min of irrigation; the worst results were for hydrogen peroxide and 3% acetic acid. When solutions were sequentially combined, the best results were observed for all those starting with acetic acid, in terms of both reduction of log cfu/mL counts and viable cells. We consider that a combination of antiseptic solutions, particularly that comprising the sequence acetic acid + povidone iodine + hydrogen peroxide, would be the best option for chemical debridement during PJI surgery.

Abstract
Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent applied in orthopedic surgery and has been proven to reduce post-surgery infection rates. We previously showed that TXA also had an additional direct antimicrobial effect against planktonic bacteria. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether it has a synergistic effect if in combination with antibiotics. Materials and Methods Three ATCC and seven clinical strains of staphylococci were tested against serial dilutions of vancomycin and gentamicin alone and in combination with TXA at 10 and 50 mg/ml. The standardized microtiter plate method was used. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were calculated by standard visualization of well turbidity (the lowest concentration at which complete absence of well bacterial growth was observed by the researcher) and using the automated method (the lowest concentration at which ≥80% reduction in well bacterial growth was measured using a spectrophotometer). Results Tranexamic acid-10 mg/ml reduced the MIC of vancomycin and gentamicin with both the standard method (V: 1-fold dilution, G: 4-fold dilutions) and the automated turbidity method (vancomycin: 8-fold dilutions, gentamicin: 8-fold dilutions). TXA-50 mg/ml reduced the MIC of gentamicin with both the standard turbidity method (6-fold dilutions) and the automated turbidity method (1-fold dilutions). In contrast, for vancomycin, the MIC remained the same using the standard method, and only a 1-fold dilution was reduced using the automated method. Conclusion Ours was a proof-of-concept study in which we suggest that TXA may have a synergistic effect when combined with both vancomycin and gentamicin, especially at 10 mg/ml, which is the concentration generally used in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background In the practice of breast augmentation and reconstruction, implant irrigation with various solutions has been widely used to prevent infection and capsular contracture, but to date, there is no consensus on the optimal protocol to use. Recently, application of povidone iodine (PI) for 30 min has shown in vitro to be the most effective irrigating formula in reducing contamination in smooth breast implants. However, as 30 min is not feasible intraoperatively, it is necessary to determine whether shorter times could be equally effective as well as to test it in both smooth and textured implants. Methods We tested the efficacy of 10% PI at 1', 3', and 5' against biofilms of 8 strains (2 ATCC and 6 clinical) of Staphylococcus spp. on silicone disks obtained from Mentor® and Polytech® implants of different textures. We analyzed the percentage reduction of cfu counts, cell viability and bacterial density between treatment (PI) and control (sterile saline, SS) groups for each time of application. We consider clinical significance when > 25% reduction was observed in cell viability or bacterial density. Results All textured implants treated with PI at any of the 3 exposure times reduced 100% bacterial load by culture. However, none of the implants reached enough clinical significance in percentage reduction of living cells. Regarding bacterial density, only 25-50 μm Polytxt® Polytech® implants showed significant reduction at the three PI exposure times. Conclusion PI is able to inhibit bacterial growth applied on the surface of breast implants regardless of the exposure time. However, no significant reduction on living cells or bacterial density was observed. This lack of correlation may be caused by differences in texture that directly affect PI absorption.

Abstract
Introduction We previously demonstrated the efficacy of a frozen dalbavancin–heparin (DH) lock solution against biofilms of staphylococci. However, as enterococci also commonly cause catheter-related bloodstream infections (C-RBSI), we assessed the bioactivity of frozen dalbavancin (D) and DH against enterococci. Methods Over 6 months, we compared the bioactivity of a solution of DH (1 mg/ml) with that of D in terms of cfu counts and metabolic activity against biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium (four strains each). For each solution, we individually compared results obtained at each time point (months 3 and 6) with baseline (month 0). We also compared the median DH value of each variable at baseline and at months 3 and 6 of freezing with the values obtained for D alone. We used both statistical and clinical criteria when results were within 25% of the reference value. Results At the end of the experiment (month 6), neither a statistically nor a clinically significant reduction in the bioactivity of D solution was observed in terms of cfu count and metabolic activity against enterococcal biofilms. Regarding the DH solution, we found both statistical and clinical significance in the median percentage reduction in metabolic activity between months 0 and 6 in E. faecalis strains (51.8% vs. 77.8%, P = 0.007). Moreover, after freezing, the DH solution lost significant bioactivity compared with the D solution, especially in E. faecalis. Conclusion A dalbavancin lock solution can be frozen for up to 6 months with no negative effect on its bioactivity against enterococcal biofilms. However, when combined with heparin, its efficacy was reduced. Therefore, we recommend that if lock therapy with frozen dalbavancin is used in the management of enterococcal C-RBSI, heparin should be added simultaneously at the time of catheter lock.
