• Suhk JS

Abstract

The author has reported on the statistics of the flora of various external ocular diseases in 128 cases and also investigated the sensitivity to 10 kinds of antibiotics of 72 strains of organisms which were isolated from the conjunctival sac of infecied conjunctiva examined at the medical school of Kyungpook National University from July 1965 to August 1966. The results of examination were as follows. 1) The most prevalent organisms were staphylococci (43 cases) and next gram positive diplococci (9 cases), gram negative bacilli (8 cases), gram positive cocci (4 cases), streptococci (4 cases), gram positive bacilli(3 cases) and gram negative cocci (1 case). 2) In every strain of organism the chloramphenicol and penicillin resistant strains were most noticeable but kanamycin showed the highest sensitivity. 3) There was no significant difference in sensitivity and percentage of culture whether antibiotic had been used or not.
