- Abstract
- Knowledge of whether microorganisms reside in protected niches of the conjunctiva is potentially significant in terms of minimizing risks of contact lens inflammation/infection and endophthalmitis. We define if and how microbial communities from limbal and forniceal conjunctival tissue differ from those on the conjunctival surface.
