Article Synopsis
- A new antimicrobial solution called nitroglycerin-citrate-ethanol (NiCE) was developed to replace traditional catheter lock solutions and effectively eliminate biofilms caused by various drug-resistant bacteria and fungi.
- The formulation was optimized by reducing nitroglycerin and citrate while increasing ethanol concentration, showing sustained effectiveness even with these adjustments.
- NiCE not only eradicated biofilms rapidly but also exhibited anticoagulant properties similar to heparin, making it a promising nonantibiotic option for clinical use.
