Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium and a leading cause of corneal ulcers. In the eye, extracellular enzymes may lead to keratitis, ulcer, endophthalmitis, rapid corneal destruction, and perforation leading to a quick loss of vision and necessity for urgent vitrectomy, amniotic membrane transplantation, or eye evisceration if no other therapy showed to be useful.
Keywords
