ARMOR study shows antibiotic resistance levels remain high
SEATTLE – Preliminary 2015 data from the Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular Microorganism study show that high levels of antibiotic resistance continue among Staphylococcus, especially the methicillin-resistant strains, according to a poster presented here at the Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting. Christine Sanfilippo, PhD, manager of pharmaceutical medical affairs, Bausch + Lomb, told Primary Care Optometry News, “There’s relatively no change in overall trends from 2014. No change means everyone is using good antibiotic stewardship practices.”
