In Vitro Antibiotic Resistance among Bacteria from the Cornea in the Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular MicRoorganisms Surveillance Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to report on in vitro susceptibility patterns among corneal isolates collected in the Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular micRoorganisms (ARMOR) study.

Methods

Each year, from 2009 to 2019, Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Haemophilus influenzae isolates cultured from patients with ocular infections at participating ARMOR sites were submitted to a central laboratory for species confirmation and antibiotic susceptibility testing. In this analysis of corneal isolates, odds ratios for concurrent resistance were based on sample proportions, one-way ANOVA was used to evaluate resistance by patient age, and Cochran-Armitage tests were used to examine changes in anti
