“…Similar results were reported from studies in New York and South Florida, 10,11 but results differed in Spain, where S. epidermidis represented 41.2% and S. aureus represented 13.2% of the species isolated. 12 In this study, evaluating 1044 patients with conjunctivitis, 56.6% of ocular surface pathogens were staphylococcal species, 21.4% were streptococcal species, and 12.1% were Haemophilus species. 12 This variation in causative organisms often necessitates the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics for empiric therapy.…”

“…La alta frecuencia de identificación de este género en las dos muestras de conjuntiva de cada sujeto corrobora que es el principal constituyente de la microbiota residente en el ojo. S. epidermidis es la especie más prevalente en la superficie ocular, pero también es la que ocasiona infecciones oculares con más regularidad (17). La bacteria ha desarrollado nuevas variantes al adquirir genes que le confieren resistencia a los antibióticos y la habilidad para producir biopelículas (25,26).…”

“…La importancia del estudio de la microbiota ocular radica en la frecuencia en la que estos agentes ocasionan infecciones en la superficie ocular (17,18 (19,20). S. aureus es la especie patógena del género Staphylococcus; esta se encuentra con cierta frecuencia como parte de la microbiota de la conjuntiva (6-8), la mayoría presentan incremento en la resistencia a antibióticos, independientemente de si se aís-lan de infecciones o de la microbiota normal (7)(8)(9)18,(21)(22)(23).…”
