Objective. To determine bacterial pathogens causing ocular infections and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
Materials and Methods. This prospective microbiological study included a total of 235 isolates of aerobic microorganisms obtained from 235 patients in 10 Russian regions. Susceptibility to the following antimicrobials (ampicillin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanate, oxacillin, penicillin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, tobramycin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, polymyxin B, tetracycline, and erythromycin) was determined using serial dilution method.
Results. The most predominant pathogens in ocular infections were S.
