Description
One eye of each of one-hundred patients presenting for general visual examinations were cultured to determine the ocular flora present. Cultures were taken only from apparently healthy, non-pathological eyes. The study also attempted to establish an efficient clinical protocol for growth and identification of ocular microbes. The results of this study indicate that the normal ocular flora found in our clinical population differs little from the normal ocular flora of other populations in many diverse geographical locations. The flora present in order of
occurrence were: Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus viridans, and D-Group Streptococcus. A possible significant difference between the normal flora of this region and that of other populations was the complete absence of any Diplococcus pneumoniae or diphtheroids detected in this clinical population . |
