Correlation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Genotype With Antibiotic Susceptibility and Clinical Features of Induced Central Keratitis [Immunology and Microbiology]

Conclusions.
Cytotoxic strains are associated with contact lens wear while invasive strains are related to poor prognosis and increased resistance to fluoroquinolones. Clinicians should be aware of the two different genotypes of P. aeruginosa affecting prognosis.
