All catheter-related infections are treated by the patient's nephrologist according to their usual practice. If a new catheter is clinically indicated, the patient will continued to receive the same ointment to which they had been assigned. Swabs for cultures and sensitivities at the catheter exit site are taken if an exit or tunnel infection is suspected and blood cultures if a bacteraemia is suspected. All microbiology samples will be sent to the PathWest laboratory for culture and sensitivities. The study will end when the last enrolled subject has completed the minimum 6-month study period.
