Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to explore the culturable bacterial community in healthy volunteers, with a focus on the staphylococcal population. First, 120 bacterial isolates were collected from conjunctival swabs of 49 healthy volunteers (aged 18 to 77 years). Isolates were characterized by phenotypic analyses, and 68 of them were confirmed as staphylococci by MALDI-TOF/MS and a multiplex PCR assay. The Staphylococcus...
