Experimental Keratitis Due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Model for Evaluation of Antimicrobial Drugs

Abstract: An improved method for experimental keratitis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa is described. Essential features of the method are use of inbred guinea pigs, intracorneal injection of bacteria, subconjunctival injection of antibiotics, “blind” evaluation of results, and statistical analysis of data. Untreated ocular infections were most severe 5 to 7 days after infection. Sterilized bacterial suspensions caused no abnormalities on day 5. Tobramycin and polymyxin B were more active than gent… Show more

“…In 1975, Davis and Chandler reported an improved method of examining and quantitating Pseudomonas keratitis using the guinea pig as a model [ 156 ]. One of the foci of this report was the use of intracorneal injection of bacteria so that the inoculum would be as precise as possible.…”

“…The comparative in vivo studies that have been done indicate that there is no notable difference between tobramycin and gentamicin against Enterobacteriaceae [11,15,16], and that tobramycin is somewhat more effective than gentamicin in treating infections caused by Pseudomonas [1,5,6,13,14], If this is confirmed by further in vivo studies, it will indicate that the PDM medium is not suitable for sensitivity testing of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas spp. against the two most commonly used aminoglycosides.…”
