Abstract

Background and objective: To evaluate the conjunctival bacterial flora and its antibiotic resistance pattern in eyes of patients undergoing cataract surgery.Material and methods: From 2004 to 2005, 170 patients undergoing cataract surgery in the Ophthalmology department of Kermanshah University of medical sciences were prospectively evaluated. The patients with signs of ocular infection, external foreign body, use systemic or local antibiotic in past week were excluded. Conjunctival soap was obtained on the day of surgery before the application of topical anesthetic, antibiotic or povidone-iodine. Culture and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed.RESULTS: Of the 170 patients 89 cases (52.4%) had positive cultures in of the eyes. In 79 eyes (88.8%) found coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. Staphylococ aureus was isolated from 7 eyes (7.9%), proteus from 2 eyes (2.2%), Citrobacter freundii from 1 eye (1.1%). Eighty two cases (95.3%) of isolated Staphylococcus were susceptible to Amikacin, 86 (100%) sensitive to ciprofloxacin and 42 (48.8%) sensitive to ceftazidim.CONCLUSION: This study showed that the bacterium most frequently found in the conjunctival flora of the patients undergoing cataract surgery was the CNS. Isolates of this bacterium had low susceptibility rates to caftazidim and vancomycin and high susceptibility to ciprofloxacin and amikacin.
