Antibiotic Resistant Patterns of Conjunctival and Nasophayngeal Flora After Repeated Exposure to Topical Antibiotics

NCT00831961 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Last updated 2015-12-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Repeated exposure to topical antibiotics may alter the normal bacteria on the eye and in the nose and increase rates of resistance. This study will determine whether repeated short-term exposure to topical antibiotic drops which are commonly prescribed after eye injections to reduce the chance of infection increase rates of resistant bacteria which are normally found on the eye and in the nose.

We hypothesis that certain commercially available antibiotics may increase rates of bacteria resistance more so than others.
