- Coagulase-negative staphylococci: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for 5-7 days; if catheter not removed, do lock therapy and treat for 10-14 days
- Staphylococcus aureus: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for ≥14 days
- Enterococcus: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for 7-14 days
- Gram-negative bacillus: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for 7-14 days
- Candida: remove catheter and treat with antifungal for 14 days from first negative blood culture
