Antibiotics in Ophthalmology Practice

Dear Colleagues,

Antibiotic resistance has been recognized as a global public health threat. The increasing evidence in the literature shows that several antibiotics that used to be highly effective in managing eye infections a few years ago are continuously losing efficacy. Although the problem is common worldwide, the reported rates of antibiotic resistance are highly variable across countries and within the antibiotic classes. This Topical Collection aims to publish the latest data on antibiotic resistance in ophthalmology. It will present a snapshot of the problem for different geographical locations and help clinicians choose the right drug for their patients. Original articles and systematic reviews are highly encouraged for submission. Data could comprise retrospective and prospective evaluations of antibiotic efficacy, laboratory-based investigations focusing on ophthalmology practice, or antibiotic resistance patterns within different ophthalmic diseases such as corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, and endophthalmitis.
