A new study on acne and rosacea patients concluded these findings:
CONCLUSIONS:
1. In the cases of acne vulgaris the majority of isolated bacteria from
conjunctival sac included Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp.
and Enterobacteriaceae.
2. In the severe cases of rosacea the main bacteria found in conjunctival
sac were S. aureus, S.pyogenes, P.aeruginosa, E. faecalis, A. baumanii,
P. fluorescens.
3. Because of changeable drug-sensitivity of bacterial strains, it seems
to be necessary to perform individual culture and antibiogram in every
patient with inflammatory lesions, in particular in clinically severe and
resistant to therapy cases of acne vulgaris and rosacea.
4. The higher frequency of the bacterial colonisations in the conjunctival
sac in patients with acne vulgaris and rosacea can be a potential source
of ocular infections in the cases of local and systemic disorders of protective
mechanisms.
5. Estimation of bacterial flora and antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria isolated
from conjunctival sac, the skin of the eyelids and skin lesions should be
perform, especially when patients are prepared for eye surgery.
