Assessment of bacterial isolates and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in external ocular infections among patients attending eye clinic at Kafrelsheikh University Hospitals
This study indicated that ocular conditions such as dry eye syndrome, Meibomian gland dysfunction, and scaly blepharitis are strongly associated with the prevalence of culture-confirmed ocular infections. Regarding antibiotic susceptibility, most Staphylococcus species demonstrated the greatest sensitivity to linezolid and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
