Effects of Topical Anesthetics on Growth of Microorganisms

Inhibition of Microorganisms by Topical Anesthetics

“…Cocaine in a concentration as low as 2.5% was lethal to all three organisms, in agreement with our previous report (2). The cocaine buffer inhibited the growth of the three organisms.…”

Analysis of the antimicrobial activity of local anaesthetics used for dental analgesia

“…In the past, the use of disinfection prior to injection has evoked controversial discussion (Gräf, 1965;Winther & Praphailony, 1969). Some results of previous studies on the antimicrobial activity of local anaesthetics (Erlich, 1961;Kleinfeld & Ellis, 1966Murphy et al, 1955) were confirmed by the present analysis.…”

In vitro evaluation of the antibacterial activity of Fluorescein® 0.5% eye drops

“…This is the first study to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Fluorescein Ò . Our MIC results for the local anaesthetics were similar to those of previous studies (Kleinfeld & Ellis 1966;Labetoulle et al 2002;Pelosini et al 2009). It should be noted that in clinical practice, Fluorescein Ò is very often used in combination with a local anaesthetic (Darugar et al 2011).…”
