Gram-negative bacteria can multiply relatively fast in a variety of hospital associated fluids ranging from distilled, deionized, reverse osmosis, and softened water, which are normally considered devoid of nutrients, to intravenous solutions and fluids associated with hemodialysis. Excessive levels of these bacteria in the dialysate of artificial kidney machines can be responsible for pyrogenic reactions or sepsis or both.
革兰氏阴性菌能在多种医院相关液体中相对快速地繁殖，这些液体范围广泛，从通常被认为缺乏营养的蒸馏水、去离子水、反渗透水和软化水，到静脉注射液以及与血液透析相关的液体。人工肾机器透析液中这些细菌的过量存在可能导致热原反应或败血症，或两者皆有。
