dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study was to identify the organisms responsible and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the bacterial isolates from conjunctiva and nasal mucosa in case of acquired dacryocystitis in a tertiary care hospital settings in North India. A prospective study of 30 patients of acquired dacryocystitis were included in this study and age, gender, microbiological isolates from the conjunctival and nasal swabs and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns were studied in accordance with the Clinical and Laboratory StandrdsInstitute guidelines. 30 patients clinically diagnosed as acquired dacryocystitis including 3 with bilateral involvement were studied. Majority (19) were females and largest number of patients were in the age group 31-40. Out of 33 samples, culture were positive in 17(51.6%) with 13 being gram organism. Staph albus was the most commonly isolated organism(18.2%) followed by staph aureus. Majorito the organisms isolated were sensitive to Tobramycin and other commonly used antibioticsen_US
