10% lipid emulsionsare themost likely to promote microbial growthbecause they provide an ideal environment forbacterial and fungal proliferation, especiallyStaphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida species. Lipids supportrapid bacterial multiplicationdue to theirhigh nutrient content.
B. 5% dextrose– While it can support some bacterial growth, it isless favorablethan lipid emulsions.
C. Synthetic amino acids– These solutionsdo not support microbial growth as well as lipid emulsions.
CBIC Infection Control Reference
APIC guidelines confirm that lipid-based solutions support rapid microbial growthand should be handled with strict aseptic technique.
