- W4387408035 abstract "This study aimed to investigate the bacterial contamination of multi-use tear drops, gels, and ointments that patients use at home.A total of 271 multi-use containers used by 168 patients were examined. Conjunctival culture samples were obtained from patients who used tear drops, gels, and ointments that were found to be contaminated.Bacterial contamination was detected in 33 (12.2 %) out of the 271 containers. The contamination rate was 7.9 % in tear drops, 11.7 % in gels, and 32 % in ointments. A statistically significant difference was found between the drops, gels, and ointment groups (P = 0.04). Bacterial contamination was detected in 25 (18.9 %) out of 132 collapsible tubes and 8 (5.8 %) out of 139 plastic bottles (P = 0.01). Important bacteria, including Pseudomonas stutzeri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus licheniformis, Paenibacillus pabuli, Proteus mirabilis, Pantoea agglomerans, Morganella morganii, Serratia marcescens, and Serratia liquefaciens, were detected. Mucorales spp. fungus was seen in a gel. Staphylococcus epidermidis, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and M. morganii were found in the conjunctival microbiota of three patients.The overall contamination rate of ocular lubricants was low (12.2%); however, a significant difference was found between the drops, gels, and ointments. The contamination rate was higher in gels and ointments than that in drops. The contamination rate was found to be increased in the collapsible tube. The use of ocular lubricants is safe; however, patients must be cautious when using multi-use tear drops, gels, and ointments to avoid contamination. Whenever possible, bottles should be preferred instead of collapsible tubes." @default.
