“…This pathogen is not sensitive to the antibiotics conventionally employed in culture media, and it therefore plays an important role in tissue contamination (Payne 1986). If transferred with a graft, the ensuing infection may become a difficult one to treat (Khodadoust & Francklin 1979;Leveille et al 1983), and accounts, indeed, for 25% of cases of postoperative endophthalmitis after penetrating keratoplasty (Payne 1986 borders in these instances after induction of intercellular swelling may be linked to the presence of this pathogen. Dissection in situ is naturally carried out using sterile instruments and solutions, but the excision itself cannot, of course, be effected under sterile conditions, and rigorous local decontamination is therefore crucial.…”

“…Öte yandan, kültür pozitif olan korneaların naklinden sonra klinik olarak enfeksiyon gö-rülme sıklığının düşük (%0-1,3) olduğunu göste-ren çalışmalar mevcutken, kültür pozitif amniyon membranların naklinden sonraki enfeksiyon insidansıyla ilgili literatürde bir çalışmaya rastlanmadı. [10][11][12] Benzer şekilde, bizim kültür pozitif AMT yapılan olgumuzda da postoperatif dönemde enfeksiyon gelişmedi.…”
