| Abstract | ||
| The aim of the present work was to investigate; cryptic & non-cryptic bacterial eye infections. Three disease entities were tackeld ; Conjunctivitis, Dacryocystitis & Lid infections.101eye`s swabs were collected from eyes of these patients who referred to AL-Hessian & AL-Hindiya hospitalsThe results indicated that the rate of bacterial infections were 93% distributed as 73.2% in Conjuctivitis,11.8% in Lid infections& 8.0% in Dacryocytitis . Each swab was cultured by seven methods ,these methods lies in three techniques; serial culture technique , dilution technique &biphasic media to isolate &localize walled & cell wall deficient bacteria (CWDB).Culture results showed that the rate of mixed infections including walled bacteria & CWDB were 18.8% while single infections rates were 73.2% for walled bacteria &1%for CWDB . Staphylococcus aureus was found to be the commonest bacterial cause of eye infections. It was with a percentage of 14.8% in Conjunctivitis,Dacryocystitis & Lidinfections The antibiotic sensitivity was studied for CWDB clinical isolates, The CWDB isolates showed full resistant(100%) to pencillin , ampicillin but were sensitive to ciprofloxacine with a percentage of 70% . | ||
