Is an oritavancin catheter lock solution active against biofilms of staphylococci and enterococci?
Ours is a proof-of-concept study that shows ORT to be a potential treatment as a catheter lock solution for eradication of staphylococcal and <i>E</i>. <i>faecalis</i> biofilms. It is needed to further test ORT against more clinical strains and to compare its activity with other antimicrobials in a biofilm model.
