We devised an in vitro model to examine the effects of Conray 60 contrast dye on microorganisms commonly found in septic arthritis. Using 42 culture plates in aerobic and anaerobic environments, we found no adverse effect on bacterial growth using 30, 7.5, 3.75, and 1.875% concentrations of Conray 60 contrast dye on cultures of Staphylococcus aureus, Hemophilus influenza, and Streptococcus pneumonia.
