CorMedix announces abstract presentation at IDWeek conference

CorMedix announced that an abstract has been accepted for presentation at the IDWeek 2023 meeting being held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 11 – 15. The abstract being presented highlights data regarding in vitro activity of taurolidine against the fungus Candida auris, an emerging cause of life-threatening bloodstream infections, with increasing resistance to common antifungal agents. Taurolidine exhibited in vitro antimicrobial activity against all C. auris strains and isolates regardless of geographic source, year of isolation, or clade. There was no evidence that taurolidine activity was affected by resistance to amphotericin B or fluconazole. Based on the in vitro data, catheter lock solutions containing the broad-spectrum antimicrobial taurolidine have the potential to prevent catheter related bloodstream infections caused by C. auris, including clinical isolates that are resistant to common antifungals.
