V M Mahajan

    Journal of Clinical Pathology
    |April 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study classified 145 Gram-positive cocci from human eyes, finding varied antibiotic sensitivities. Coagulase-negative staphylococci are highlighted for their role in causing postoperative ocular infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Microbiology
    • Clinical Science

    Background:

    • The human eye harbors various Gram-positive cocci.
    • Bacterial infections can lead to significant ocular morbidity.
    • Understanding bacterial profiles is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To classify Gram-positive cocci isolated from human ocular samples.
    • To investigate the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of these bacteria.
    • To emphasize the role of specific bacteria in postoperative ocular infections.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation and classification of 145 Gram-positive cocci strains from human eye samples.
    • Utilized the Baird-Parker (1966) classification system.
    • Assessed antibiotic sensitivity profiles across different bacterial subgroups.

    Main Results:

    • Classified strains belonged to subgroups I, II, IV, and V.
    • Observed a broad spectrum of antibiotic sensitivities.
    • Sensitivity patterns were independent of bacterial subgroup and lesion type.
    • Coagulase-negative staphylococci were identified as significant contributors to postoperative ocular infections.

    Conclusions:

    • Gram-positive cocci from the human eye exhibit diverse antibiotic sensitivities.
    • Coagulase-negative staphylococci play a critical role in postoperative ocular infections.
    • Further research into targeted antibiotic therapies is warranted.
