Endotoxin Contamination in Cleanrooms: Sources, Risks, and Strategies for Prevention

Endotoxins may pose a significant risk in cleanroom environments, particularly in parenteral drug production. Originating from decaying Gram-negative bacteria, endotoxins can cause severe immune reactions if they contaminate injectable drugs or implantable medical devices. Unlike viable bacteria, endotoxins cannot be inactivated by sterilization or traditional disinfection methods—they must be prevented from entering and accumulating in cleanroom environments. Controlling endotoxin contamination starts with identifying and managing potential sources before endotoxins become a problem. This blog will explore the origins of endotoxins in cleanrooms, their associated risks, and the best strategies for minimizing their introduction and spread.
