“…[ 25 , 62 , 63 , 90 ], to understand their biofilm formation ability on indwelling devices including contact lenses, sutures, scleral buckles, valvular tubes and keratoprostheses [ 20 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 52 , 77 , 91 , 92 , 93 ]. In our opinion, monitoring biofilm formation of ocular fluid S. aureus and S. epidermidis on cadaveric cornea is equally important because they are a major source of hospital-acquired infections and more importantly, corneal biofilms have been reported following experimental keratitis in mice [ 77 ], in patients with infectious crystalline keratopathy [ 94 , 95 , 96 ] or pterygium scleritis [ 97 ] and also in the absence of prosthetic material and in the absence of active corneal inflammation or infection [ 59 ]. Comparison of the biofilms formed on cover slips with that of cadaveric cornea indicated that EPS secretion was more copious on cornea ( Figure 5 and Figure 6 ) than on cover slip ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).…”
