| Summary: |
Aim: To evaluate
bacterial flora of the conjunctival sac in patients
before cataract surgery.
Material and methods: 120 patients prepared to
cataract procedure mean age 71,5 of both sex underwent
bacteriological examination of the conjunctival sac.
Microorganisms were identified with API test (bio-Mérieux)
and their antibiotic-sensivity was determined with
disc-diffusion method.
Results: Positive cultures were obtained in 40,0%
cases. Gram-positive bacteria were found in 42,5%
cultures and Gram-negative were accounted in 3,3%. In
30,8% among positive cultures Staphylococcus spp. was
observed, mostly Staphylococcus epidermidis – 19,1%.
Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in 3,3%. The strains
of CNS were in 12,5% methicillin resistant.
Conclusions: 1. Microbiological examination of
the swab taken before cataract surgery is negative in
more than half of the cases (60,0%). 2. Dominant
population of the bacteria in conjunctival sac is
Gram-positive species. 3. In most positive cultures with
Gram-positive bacteria of Staphylococcus epidermidis was
founded. 4. In the majority of isolated species
gentamicyn – sensivity was observed. |
