Aetiology and treatment of acute bacterial infection of the external eye. [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1982
The microbial flora of 738 patients with acute bacterial conjunctivitis, corneal ulceration, blepharitis, dacryocystitis, and discharging sockets has been investigated. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae were the main pathogens isolated. Str.

Prevention of Bacterial Biofilm Formation on Soft Contact Lenses Using Natural Compounds

Journal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection, 2017
Purpose In eye care field, contact lenses (CL) have a great impact on improving vision, but their use can be limited by ocular infection. CL- associated infections can be reduced by good attention to CL storage case practice.

Evaluation of the Pathogenic Potential of Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Eye Infections

Microorganisms, 2022
While primarily Gram-positive bacteria cause bacterial eye infections, several Gram-negative species also pose eye health risks. Currently, few studies have tried to understand the pathogenic mechanisms involved in E. coli eye infections. Therefore, this

External Infections of the Eye; Bacterial, Viral, and Mycotic

JAMA, 1964
This book satisfied a long-standing need for a text on ocular microbiology written in English. Heretofore, ophthalmologists, residents, and medical students have had to rely on lecture notes, a few manuals, or scant information from general ophthalmology texts.

Acute bacterial infections of the eye: their aetiology and treatment. [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1983
The aerobic microbial flora of 823 eyes with acute bacterial conjunctivitis, corneal ulceration, dacryocystitis, discharging sockets, blepharitis, and postoperative infections has been investigated. Staphylococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli including Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the main pathogens.
