Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis treated with ticarcillin and tobramycin

|July 28, 1979
Abstract:
A corneal ulcer, infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and complicated by conjunctivitis and endophthalmitis, was treated successfully with systemic administration of ticarcillin and topical application of tobramycin. It is unlikely that carbenicillin, to which the organism was much less sensitive, would have attained sufficient tissue levels to control the infection.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
01:22Microbiome of the Eye
The human eye has a specialized microbiota that reflects its unique anatomical and immunological environment. This low-biomass microbial community predominantly colonizes the conjunctiva and eyelid margins, playing a vital role in ocular surface homeostasis and defense. Despite its proximity to the richly colonized facial skin, the ocular surface maintains a distinct microbial profile due to continuous mechanical and biochemical defense mechanisms.The conjunctival surface hosts fewer microbial...
