Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of biofilm forming staphylococcus aureus isolated from pigeon external ocular infections

Pathogenic microorganisms cause external ocular infections due to their virulence factors and reduced host defenses that may result from many factors such as living condition, nutrition, genetics, physiology, hygiene, fever and age. Staphylococcus species are a predominant bacterial isolate among the known and opportunistic pathogens in eye infections. The changing profile of microorganisms involved in ocular infections and the emergence of acquired microbial resistance dictate the need for investigative studies regarding bacterial profiles and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of external ocular infections.
