Abstract

Introduction: Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) has emerged as a superior form of local anesthetic across numerous surgical subspecialties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ex -vivo antimicrobial effects of LB in comparison with traditional local anesthetics. Methods: A standardized inoculum of bacteria commonly associated with surgical site infection was inoculated into a suspension of 1% lidocaine, 0.25% bupivacaine, Exparel (proprietary liposomally packaged 1.3% bupivacaine), and normal saline as a growth control. Results: In all five bacteria tested, the medium inoculated with traditional local anesthetics reduced growth to a greater degree than LB-inoculated plates. Both conventional local anesthetics reduced the growth of all bacteria when compared with the control with the exception of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus growth in bupivacaine. LB-inoculated plates had equivalent growth to the control in all plates with the exception of Escherichia coli plates which demonstrated superior growth. Conclusions: The results of this simple ex-vivo model suggest that the liposomal packaging of bupivacaine may decrease this local anesthetic's innate antibacterial properties. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
