Conjunctival microbiota of newborns: Current state of the problem and clinical perspectives

The species composition of the conjunctival microbiota newborns and first-year infants informs selection an optimal management tactics for prevention inflammatory responses. effectiveness antimicrobial therapy depends on availability susceptibility testing. most common types bacteria found in include Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Bacteroidetes. These bacterium are sensitive to fluoroquinolones. bacterial culture neonates born naturally frequently contain coagulase-negative staphylococci, Propionibacterium spp, Corynebacterium spp., while that by caesarean section feature coagulasenegative Staphylococcus aureus. An examination with neonatal dacryocystitis revealed a high incidence inflammatory, fungal, infectious diseases genital tract their mothers. A correlation was established between obtained from cervicovaginal fluid samples. microflora older is characterized higher complexity compared younger infants.
