A DNA Dot Hybridization Model for Assessment of Bacterial Bioburden in Orthokeratology Lens Storage Cases [Cornea]

Conclusions.
The dot hybridization assay provides a novel way to assess the bacterial bioburden of OK storage cases. Lens care quality can be assessed with universal bacteria probes, while potentially hazardous bacterial contamination can be traced with genus-specific probes.
