  1. EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS Selim Doganay, MD¹; Gozde Orman, MD¹; Cem Cankaya, MD¹; Selami Gunal, MD²; Baris Otlu, MD² Inonu University School of Medicine, Malatya-Turkey ¹ Department of Ophthalmology, ² Department of Microbiology Authors have no financial or proprietary interest in any instrument or products used in this study

  2. EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS Purpose • To investigate the antimicrobial effects of topical anesthetic agents.

  3. EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS Introduction • The using of topical anesthetics shown in various studies to have anti-bacterial activities, before taking conjunctival and/or corneal samples may lead to false culture results.1-8

  4. EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS Materials and methods • Test drugs (oxybuprocaine 0.4%, Proparacaine hydrochloride 0.5%, Lidocaine 10%) were tested forStaphylococcusaureus (S. aureus) ATCC 29213, Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) ATCC 27336, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) ATCC 27853, standard strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) ATCC 25922, and Candida albicans (C. albicans) using modified microplate alamar blue method (MABA) in different concentrations according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) criteria.

  5. Results S. Pneumoniae proliferated in none of the dilutions of three topical anesthetics. S. aureusproliferated in all dilutions of oxybuprocaine and lidocaine, and in no dilutions of proparacaine hydrochloride. P. Aeruginosa proliferated in 0.2% dilution of oxybuprocaine and 2.5% and 5% dilutions of lidocaine and in all dilutions of proparacaine hydrochloride. EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS

  6. EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS Results • C. albicans proliferated in 0.05 % and 0.025 % dilutions of oxybuprocaine , 1.25 % and 0.625 % dilutions of lidocaine, 0.125 %, 0.0625 % and 0.0312% dilutions of proparacaine hydrochloride • E.Coli proliferated in all dilutions of oxybuprocaine, 0.625 % dilutions of lidocaine and 0.125 %, 0.0625 % and 0.0312 % dilutions of proparacaine hydrochloride.

  7. Pink: proliferation (+), Blue: proliferation (-) EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS Proliferation profiles of S.aureus, E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae, E. Coli, and C. Albicans

  8. EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS Proliferation profiles of S.aureus, E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae, E. coli and, C. Albicans in different concentrations of topical anesthetics (+): proliferationpresent, (-): no proliferation

  9. EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF TOPICAL ANESTHETIC AGENTS Conclusions • Topical anesthetics that are used for sample collection in superficial ocular infections can cause false results in cultures by inhibating proliferations of microorganisms • Thus, it is important to know the effects of topical anesthetics and dilutions on bacterial proliferation
