Clinically significant concentrations of local anesthetics inhibit Staphylococcus aureus in vitro.

Abstract:

:This study explores which concentrations of local anesthetics might be expected to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Serial dilutions were made of 0.5% and 0.75% bupivacaine, 2% and 5% lidocaine, 2% and 3% chloroprocaine, and 0.2% and 1% ropivacaine. To each concentration of local anesthetic solution, Mueller Hinton broth medium and Staphylococcus aureus were added. The resulting solutions were incubated and then observed for growth 24 and 48 h later. The minimum concentrations of the local anesthetics that could inhibit growth of Staphylococcus aureus were 0.25% bupivacaine, 1.25% lidocaine and 0.75% chloroprocaine. The inhibitory concentration of ropivacaine could not be determined because the more concentrated solutions precipitated in the Mueller Hinton broth. Local anesthetics may help protect against epidural abscess formation if they are used in sufficiently high concentrations. This effect may help explain the very low reported incidence of epidural abscess.
