Bacteriologic Culture Results in Conjunctivitis

Fusidic acid viscous eyedrops – an evaluation of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and clinical use for UK optometrists

“…a false‐negative result) from an infected conjunctiva would be to inadvertently kill the bacteria before they were cultured or to simply not take, store or transfer the sample properly. Equally importantly, an initial conjunctival culture may not be positive for common bacteria using standard procedures, even if some signs of an apparent infection are present (Soudakoff, 1954; Nicholas and Goolden, 1966; Brook et al. , 1979; Stenson et al.…”

“…With all these factors and issues in mind, it is possible to consider what bacteria have been reported to be associated with diagnoses of bacterial conjunctivitis. For the present review, a range of reports over a 50‐year period have been examined to assess the bacteria associated with conjunctival infections (Soudakoff, 1954; Nicholas and Goolden, 1966; Perkins et al. , 1975; Brook et al.…”
