Receipt of parenteral nutrition (PN) remains an independent risk factor for developing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI) caused by fungi, including by the polymorphic fungus Candida albicans, which is notoriously adept at forming drug-resistant biofilm structures. Among a variety of macronutrients, PN solutions contain lipid emulsions to supply daily essential fats and are often delivered via central venous catheters (CVCs). Therefore, using anin vitrobiofilm model system, we sought to determine whether various clinical lipid emulsions differentially impacted biofilm growth in C. albicans. We observed that the lipid emulsions Intralipid and Omegaven both stimulated C. albicans biofilm formation during growth in minimal medium or a macronutrient PN solution. Conversely, Smoflipid inhibited C. albicans biofilm formation by approximately 50%. Follow-up studies revealed that while Smoflipid did not impair C. albicans growth, it did significantly inhibit hypha formation and hyphal elongation. Moreover, growth inhibition could be recapitulated in Intralipid when supplemented with capric acid—a fatty acid present in Smoflipid but absent in Intralipid. Capric acid was also found to dose dependently inhibit C. albicans biofilm formation in PN solutions. This is the first study to directly compare different clinical lipid emulsions for their capacity to affect C. albicans biofilm growth. Results derived from this study necessitate further research regarding different lipid emulsions and rates of fungus-associated CR-BSIs.
