Abstract
Abstract: Conjunctival mucosal flora, which include bacteria and fungi are mostly considered transient. The aim of this study was to observe and isolate conjunctival fungal flora in a group of 50 participants. Culture was done for 100 conjunctival swabs, collected from both the eyes of the participants. Growth was seen in 14 cultures, which were identified by observing colony and microscopic morphological characteristics. In this study, only hyalinefungal flora were isolated, among which Penicillium was most common. Additional studies are required to understand the microbiota and effect of environmental factors. Keywords:Ocular, Normal flora, Transient flora, Fungal.
