Characterization of infectious bacterial keratitis in Östergötland County, Sweden: a 10-year retrospective study
Our results revealed a positive rate of bacterial keratitis of 59% for the samples sent to the laboratory. There was a high susceptibility of the bacterial species to the recommended antibiotics. Our results indicate that it is likely that patients are receiving the correct treatment. Future studies are necessary to monitor changes in antibiotic susceptibility.
