Heating of an alexidine solution in ReNu HDPE plastic (but not glass) containers results in the same loss of anti-Fusarium activity as reported when testing the original ReNuML solution. This loss of inhibitory activity is not specific to Fusarium and occurs with other fungi and bacteria that cause keratitis. The reasons for the lack of reports of bacterial and/or non-Fusarium fungal keratitis during the original Fusarium keratitis epidemic remain unclear at this time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
