    abstract = {Extrinsic contamination of propofol is thought to be a source of postoperative sepsis. Researchers studied growth of <I>Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli</I> and <I>Candida albicans</I> in propofol, thiopental and in a 1:1 propofol-thiopental mixture. All microorganisms were taken from standard stock cultures. Half of the samples were incubated at 20&deg;C and the rest were stored at 4&deg;C for 120 h. Growth of microorganisms in each solution was compared by counting the number of the Colony-Forming Units (CFUs) at 0, 3, 6, 24, 72 and 120 h. Propofol supported the growth of all four microorganims at both temperatures. In contrast, thiopental and the 1:1 propofol-thiopental mixture exhibited markedly bactericidal properties on <I>E. coli, C. albicans</I> and<I> P. aeruginosa </I>and bacteriostatic effect on <I>S. aureus</I>.}
