Prophylaxis Against Dialysis Catheter–Related Bacteremia: A Glimmer of Hope Michael Allon, MD American Journal of Kidney Diseases Volume 51, Issue 2, Pages 165-168 (February 2008) DOI: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2007.12.003 Copyright © 2008 National Kidney Foundation, Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Summary of frequency of catheter-related bacteremia with antimicrobial locks versus heparin locks in published randomized clinical trials. Five trials used an antibiotic lock, 1 used taurolidine, and 1 used 30% citrate. In each study, the catheter-related bacteremia frequency was 50% to 100% lower in the group with antimicrobial lock, as compared with the heparin controls.
