A prospective in vitro study was conducted to investigate the potential for various perfluorocarbon liquids to support the growth of microbes, which may be introduced into these liquids as contaminants during intraocular surgery. Perfluorodecaline, perfluoro-noctane, and perfluorophenanthrene were tested for the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans by using tryptone soy broth, pancreatic digest of casein, and Sabouraud broth as culture media for up to 10 days. No microbial growth was observed in any of these perfluorocarbon liquids. Perfluorocarbon liquids do not promote microbial growth. Thus, they do not increase the risk of endophthalmitis in vitreoretinal surgery.
进行了一项前瞻性体外研究，以调查各种全氟化碳液体支持微生物生长的可能性，这些微生物可能在眼内手术期间作为污染物引入这些液体中。通过使用胰蛋白胨大豆肉汤、酪蛋白胰消化物和沙氏肉汤作为培养基，对全氟萘烷、全氟辛烷和全氟菲进行了长达10天的金黄色葡萄球菌、铜绿假单胞菌和白色念珠菌生长测试。在任何一种全氟化碳液体中均未观察到微生物生长。全氟化碳液体不会促进微生物生长。因此，它们不会增加玻璃体视网膜手术中眼内炎的风险。
