Brief Summary: Central venous catheters CVCs are used in patient care for such purposes as the administration of medication fluids blood products and for functions such as hemodialysis and plasmapheresis However the use of CVCs can cause complications such as life-threatening bloodstream infections BSI

BSIs are caused by organisms from the skins surface tracking down the catheters outer surface The organisms grow on the catheter surface catheter colonization which is followed by seeding into the bloodstream BSIs can be difficult to treat and the mortality rate is as high as 35 in Intensive Care patients with a catheter-related BSI It is estimated that up to 70000 patients in the US die each year from catheter-related BSI

MBI 226 is a new drug that when applied to the skin surrounding the catheter insertion site may prevent organisms on the skin from migrating down the catheter and entering the bloodstream and therefore decrease the incidence of catheter-related BSI in patients with CVCs
