This comprehensive guide to antimicrobial resistance in ocular diseases offers in-depth insights into the microbiology of the eye’s surface, the evolution of antimicrobials, and effective detection methods for antimicrobial resistance and its genes. It also sheds light on the profound impact of antimicrobial resistance on a range of eye diseases.
Key Features:
– Comprehensive coverage of various eye diseases, including bacterial, fungal, and viral keratitis, acanthamoeba keratitis, endophthalmitis, dry eye disease, post-fever retinitis, and uveitis. This focus makes it a valuable resource for those seeking to understand antimicrobial resistance’s role in ocular diseases.
– Contains essential data for the pharmaceutical industry, facilitating the development of targeted drugs for ophthalmic use.
– Detailed illustration of the microbiome of the ocular surface under various disease conditions. This feature helps in understanding how disease conditions can alter the eye’s microbial environment.
– Highlights the microorganisms associated with the human eye’s conjunctiva and cornea, providing valuable insights for eye health professionals.
– Enumerates changes in the antimicrobial resistant (AMR) microorganisms’ abundance and diversity in diseased eyes. This information is crucial for understanding how disease affects microbial resistance.
This book is an invaluable resource for professionals and researchers in ophthalmology, microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, and those working in public health. With its wealth of information on antimicrobial resistance and ocular diseases, it serves as an essential guide for those working to combat eye diseases and maintain eye health.
