“…[1][2][3][4] Upon traumatic injury, the protective elements of the corneal surface such as the tear film, the antimicrobial components of the tear film and the ocular mucous barrier, are disrupted, thus facilitating colonisation of the cornea by normal flora or pathogenic microorganisms and leading to bacterial ulcerative keratitis. 1,[3][4][5] Secondary bacterial infections of corneal ulcers occur frequently in horses due to high exposure to dust, bacteria, and fungi present in the environment. [1][2][3][4] Common clinical signs of bacterial ulcerative keratitis include nonspecific signs of ocular pain such as blepharospasm, epiphora and photophobia.…”
