Abstract
A hospital based observational study was conducted in Assam Medical College and Hospital ,Dibrugarh, Department of Ophthalmology, to find out the prevailing pattern of bacterial organisms in the lacrimal sac of patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction and the effective antibiotics against them. 80 cases were selected. After taking a thorough history , clinical and slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination was done, conjunctival swabs were collected from all the cases for microbial examination. The most common isolated organism was Staphylococcus aureus (40%) amongst the Gram positive and Klebsiella and E.coli (both 10%) amongst the Gram negative. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing demonstrated that Gatifloxacin (96.55%) and Amikacin (90.90%) was the most effective drug against all Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterias respectively.
