Effectiveness of topical taurolidine versus ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and fortified cefazolin in a rabbit Staphylococcus aureus keratitis model.

abstract：PURPOSE:Nona-D-arginine amide (D9R) affected a cure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal disease when combined with ciprofloxacin. In this study, we show that D9R alone and prophylactic treatment with D9R significantly reduced corneal pathology and bacterial burden associated with P. aeruginosa infection. MATERIALS AND M...
