| Summary: |
Aim: To evaluate
bacterial flora of conjunctival sac in patients with
acne vulgaris, rosacea and of healthy people.
Material and methods: 178 individuals underwent
bacteriological examination of conjunctival sac: 64 with
acne vulgaris, 59 with rosacea and 55 healthy.
Microorganisms were identified with laboratory
techniques with the use of the bio-Merieux kits.
Results: Positive cultures and general
frequencies of the isolations were found to be higher in
both groups in comparison with the reference group (the
group of clinically healthy people). In healthy
practically the only saprophytic bacteria- the most
often S. epidermidis and S. viridans- were isolated.
Whereas in patients suffering from acne vulgaris and
rosacea the pathogenic bacteria S. aureus, P.
fluorescens, P. acnes, P. aeruginosa-were additionally
isolated.
Conclusions: 1. In the cases of acne vulgaris and
rosacea, the majority of isolated bacteria from
conjunctival sac included Streptococcus spp.,
Staphylococcus spp. and Enterobacteriaceae. 2. The
higher frequency of the bacterial colonisations in the
conjunctival sac in patients with acne vulgaris and
rosacea can be a potential source of ocular infections
in cases of local and systemic disorders of protective
mechanisms. |
