Volume 50, no. 10, p. 3283-3288, 2006. Page 3285, column 2, line 55: The sentence should read, “Although the antibiotic-coated M/R-CVCs have been shown through a number of prospective randomized clinical trials to be highly efficacious in preventing CR-BSI in short-term and long-term CVCs (4, 8, 9, 12, 32), there are several concerns associated with their use.”
Page 3286, column 2, line 5: The sentence should read, “Although several other studies have demonstrated that such a possibility is low (5, 12, 25), the use of an antiseptic catheter coating, especially one which contains two separate antiseptics, is probably associated with less risk of emergence of organisms that could be resistant to those antibiotics that are commonly used therapeutically.”
Page 3287: The Acknowledgments should include the following sentence. “Hend Hanna, Gassan Chaiban, and Issam Raad are coinventors of the technology related to gendine-coated central venous catheters. This technology is the property of the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.”
