Ciencia y Tecnología para la Salud Visual y Ocular

Abstract

286 patients with infectious pathology in previous segment were studied and through a microbiological study the bacteria associated with the infection were identified. From the 286 bacteriological samples, 177 were isolated, and from these 73.45% of Gram positive flora being the most frequent species S. epidermidis (48.46%), S. aureus (35.38%), S. pneumonia (4.61%)and Corynebacterium sp. (2.31%). The 26.55% corresponded to Gram negative bacilli of which the 74.47% are enterobacterias and the 25.53% were non fermented microorganisms. The highest percentages of isolations were conducted in patient with bacterial conjunctivitis, bacterial blepharitis, unspecific conjunctivitis and unspecific blepharitis.
