ARMOR study: Antibiotic resistance high among staphylococci

BALTIMORE – Researchers found high levels of antibiotic resistance among staphylococci, along with many isolates demonstrating multidrug resistance, in preliminary results for ocular isolates collected in 2016 under the ARMOR program, presented at the Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology annual meeting.The ongoing Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular micRoorganisms (ARMOR) is a nationwide antibiotic resistance surveillance program specific to ocular pathogens.
