متن کاملThe effects of topical chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin on conjunctival bacterial flora of healthy dogs
BACKGROUND: Normal bacterial flora of the conjunctiva, which inhibits growth of opportunistic organisms, has an important role in the prevention of ocular infections. If resident flora is inhibited by disease or long-term application of antibiotics, opportunistic pathogens overgrow, leading to disease. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ophthalmic chloramphenico...
متن کاملLack of effect of preoperative norfloxacin on bacterial contamination of anterior chamber aspirates after cataract surgery.
Eighty patients undergoing routine standardised extracapsular cataract surgery with lens implantation were divided randomly into two groups in a prospective double blind study comparing effects of preoperative norfloxacin eyedrops with placebo on bacterial contamination of anterior chamber aspirates after surgery. Pathogenic organisms were identified from 19 (24%) of the aspirates. The most com...
