Factors Affecting Staphylococcus epidermidis Adhesion to Contact Lenses

1 Sept 1996

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus epidermidis is a major causative agent of infectious keratitis associated with contact lens wear. Adhesion of this bacterium to contact lenses may contribute to the pathogenesis of infection and could be influenced by lens surface properties, packaging/storage solutions, and vary among different strains according to the level or type of adhesins expressed. METHODS: Adhesion of six...
