Summary: Aim: Bacterial colonization of conjunctival sac is more frequent in patients with acne vulgaris and rosacea. Because antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria are quite often met, it seems important to determine antibiotic-sensitivity of isolated bacteria. Material and methods: 178 people underwent bacteriological examination of conjunctival sac: 64 with acne vulgaris, 59 with rosacea and 55 healthy. Microorganisms were identified and determination of drug-sensitivity was performed with recognized laboratory techniques. Results: Different spectrum of sensitivity to antibiotics of bacteria isolated from conjunctival sac in cases of acne vulgaris and rosacea was proved. Conclusions: Because of changeable drug-sensitivity of bacterial strains, it seems to be necessary to perform individual culture and antibiogram in every patient, in particular in clinically severe and resistant to therapy cases of acne vulgaris and rosacea.
