conjunctiva

Examples of conjunctiva in the following topics:

• Normal Eye Microbiota

  • A small number of bacteria are normally present in the conjunctiva.
  • The human microbiome (or human microbiota) is the aggregate of microorganisms that reside on the surface and in deep layers of skin, in the saliva and oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva, and in the gastrointestinal tracts.
  • A small number of bacteria are normally present in the conjunctiva.
  • The lachrymal glands continuously secrete tears keeping the conjunctiva moist, while intermittent blinking lubricates the conjunctiva and washes away foreign material.
  • Some pathogens able to infect the conjunctiva, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis, are thought to have special processes allowing them to attach to the conjunctival epithelium.

• Bacterial Eye Diseases

  • Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva, most commonly due to an infection.
  • Conjunctivitis, also called pink eye or Madras eye, is inflammation of the conjunctiva, which consists of the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids.
  • Corynebacterium diphtheriae causes membrane formation in conjunctiva of non immunized children.

• Innate Resistance

  • The human microbiome (or human microbiota) is the aggregate of microorganisms that reside on the surface and in deep layers of skin, in the saliva and oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva, and in the gastrointestinal tracts.
  • A small number of bacteria are normally present in the conjunctiva.
  • The lachrymal glands continuously secrete, keeping the conjunctiva moist, while intermittent blinking lubricates the conjunctiva and washes away foreign material.

• Normal Microbiota and Host Relationships

  • The phrase "normal microbiota" refers to the microorganisms that reside on the surface and deep layers of skin, in the saliva and oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva, and in the gastrointestinal tracts of every human being.

• Normal Genitourinary Microbiota

  • The human microbiome, or human microbiota, is the aggregate of microorganisms that reside on the surface and in deep layers of skin, in the saliva and oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva, and in the gastrointestinal tracts.

• Other Infectious Eye Diseases

  • Primary infection most commonly manifests as blepharoconjunctivitis i.e. infection of lids and conjunctiva that heals without scarring.
  • Primary eye infection with herpes simplex virus most commonly manifests as blepharoconjunctivitis i.e. infection of lids and conjunctiva that heals without scarring.

• Penetrating Host Defenses

  • The human microbiome (or human microbiota) is the aggregate of microorganisms that reside on the surface and in deep layers of skin, in the saliva and oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva, and in the gastrointestinal tracts.
