Preventive Activity of an Arginine-Based Surfactant on the Formation of Mixed Biofilms of Fluconazole-Resistant <i>Candida albicans</i> and Extended-Spectrum-Beta-Lactamase-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> on Central Venous Catheters

Preventive Activity of an Arginine-Based Surfactant on the Formation of Mixed Biofilms of Fluconazole-Resistant <i>Candida albicans</i> and Extended-Spectrum-Beta-Lactamase-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> on Central Venous Catheters

<b>Background/Objectives:</b> Mixed bloodstream infections associated with central venous catheter (CVC) use are a growing problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of a cationic arginine-based gemini surfactant, C<sub>9</sub>(LA)<sub>2</sub>, ag...
