Ocular Surface Microbiome clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
The tiny life forms on our eyes make up the ocular surface microbiome. UCSF is examining the impact of antibiotics used after eye surgeries on these life forms. We're studying adults to understand the issue of antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotic Resistance In Eye Surgeries
open to eligible people ages 18-85
In this study, the investigators seek to determine the effect of antibiotic use post-surgery on antimicrobial resistance. The investigators will be studying adults (aged 18 or older) who will undergo eye surgery at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). We seek to gain a better understanding of how antibiotic use during the perioperative period influences local and systemic antibiotic resistance at the individual level.
