Origin and Pathogenicity of Pseudomonas Pyocyanea in Conjunctival Sac

An Evaluation of Chemical Preservatives for Ophthalmic Solutions*

“…Theodore and Feinstein (6) have indicated the existence of strains of Pseudomonas which vary in their degrees of susceptibility to the action of chlorobutanol. While they indicated that they were able to confirm an earlier observation by McCulloch (8), who found that 0.3% of the compound would prevent the growth of Pseudomonas in ophthalmic solutions, they found that "our investigations indicate that even weaker concentrations (0.12.!17~) are effective against certain strains of Pseudomonas and P.…”

Chronic Dacryocystitis: Clinico-Bacteriological Profile and its Antibiogram at a Tertiary care Hospital in Belagavi, Karnataka

“…Our study revealed unilateral (88.33%) eye involvement, that too right (51.67%) eye, which correlates well with other studies 7,10,17 . Dacryocystitis is usually seen in one eye because asymptomatic nasal afflictions are more common on one side 21,22 and right eye is commonly involved because of narrow bony canal especially in females 19 .…”

“…The source of infection of lacrimal sac could be from the conjunctiva (endogenous) or contaminated eye drops or secondary to other infections like otitis media, rhinitis, stomatitis, etc. The residual bacteria can also act as opportunistic pathogens and known to cause dacryocystitis when a suitable environment sets in 22 .…”

Bacterial Flora in Relation to Cataract Extraction

“…It is a well-known fact that contaminated eye drops and ophthalmic ointments may serve as a source of infection in ophthalmic wards (Lindner 1914, McCulloch 1943, Rintelen 1951, King 1953, Rauh 1953, Richter 1955, Goettsch 1956, Custodis 1958, Crompton 1961, Norn & Frelund Thomsen 1967, Allen 1972, Ertel et al 1973. Smith (1954) and Ridley (1958) stated that cross infections from one conjunctiva to another may occur in the wards by means of eye drops.…”
