This study addresses the effects of micafungin, caspofungin, and anidulafungin against Candida albicans biofilms developed in a subcutaneous catheter rat model system. Doses of 5, 10, and 30 mg/kg (of body weight)/day (the last only for micafungin) were given intravenously for 5, 7, and 10 days. All three echinocandins caused a significant reduction of the Candida cell numbers on the implanted catheters and are thus promising for the treatment of biofilm-related infections.
本研究旨在探讨米卡芬净、卡泊芬净和阿尼芬净对皮下留置导管大鼠模型系统中白色念珠菌生物膜的影响。分别给予 5、10 和 30mg/kg(仅米卡芬净为体重)/天的剂量,连续静脉给药 5、7 和 10 天。三种棘白菌素均显著降低了植入导管上的念珠菌细胞数量,因此有望用于治疗生物膜相关感染。
