Journal Title: International Journal of Pharma Research and Health Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of the study was conducted to evaluate the bacterial contamination in contact lens among female Medical students. A total of 44 bacterial isolates were identified from 50 samples and remaining 6 samples found to have no growth. Contact lenses samples were collected from the contact lens wearers in SSSMC & RI, Thiruporur. The samples were cultured in different media. The organisms were identified by performing different biochemical tests and antimicrobial susceptibility test in accordance to standard protocols. The common isolates were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (23%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (18%),E.coli(16%),Citrobacter koseri (11%), Acinetobacter baumannii (11%) Klebsiella Pneumoniae (9%),Micrococci spp (7%)and least was found to be Proteus mirabilis (5%).In our study the most common isolated bacteria in contact lens was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Prevention of bacterial contamination of contact lens can reduce the risk of developing ocular infections
