| description | Microbiological contamination of retrieved tissues is a critical aspect of allograft safety and tissue banks must continuously implement decontamination procedures to minimize tissue contamination. In this study we compared the decontamination efficacy of a new antibiotic cocktail (cocktail B: BASE medium with Gentamicin, Meropenem and Vancomycin) with the cocktail previously adopted at Treviso Tissue Bank Foundation (FBTV) (cocktail A: RPMI medium with Ceftazidime, Lincomycin, Polymyxin B and Vancomycin). Two decontamination steps were carried out, the first immediately after retrieval, the second after processing. The contamination rate was calculated before processing (Time 1) and cryopreservation (Time 2) for total tissues, musculoskeletal tissues and cardiovascular tissues, and the bacterial species involved were analyzed. Cocktail A was used to decontaminate 3548 tissues, of which 266 were cardiovascular and 3282 musculoskeletal tissues. For cocktail A, total tissue contamination was 18.6% at Time 1 and 0.9% at Time 2, with 15.7% contaminated musculoskeletal tissues at Time 1 and 0.4% at Time 2, respectively, while cardiovascular tissues were 50% contaminated at Time 1 and 6.4% at Time 2. Cocktail B was used to decontaminate 3634 tissues of which 318 were cardiovascular and 3316 musculoskeletal tissues. For cocktail B, total tissue contamination was 8.6% at Time 1 and 0.2% at Time 2, with 7.6% contaminated musculoskeletal tissues at Time 1 and 0.03% at Time 2, respectively. Contamination of cardiovascular tissues was 20.4% at Time 1 and 1.9% at Time 2. Intergroup and intragroup contamination rates decreased statistically significantly (p<0.05). Our results have shown that cocktail B was more effective than cocktail A in killing bacteria in both cardiovascular and musculoskeletal tissues during the two decontamination cycles. |
