Abstract
Bacteria are the leading cause of ocular infections (OIs), accounting for 32 %–74 % of cases globally. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) are frequently identified as the main causative pathogens of all types of OIs. This study systematically reviewed the prevalence of CoNS and their resistance rates to ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole in OIs worldwide.
We conducted a comprehensive search of publications from January 1, 2000, to May 19, 2024, using three major databases: Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed. Statistical analyses were performed with Stata 14.0, employing the Metaprop package to calculate pooled prevalence and confidence intervals. A random-effects model with double arcsine transformations stabilized variance in meta-analyses, and publication bias was evaluated using the “metabias” command. If bias was detected, we adjusted prevalence using the trim-and-fill method. A significant level of 0.05 was set for all analyses.
Out of 2116 articles, 214 were eligible for data extraction. The pooled prevalence of CoNS isolates in OIs was 25 % (95 % CI: 21–28; I2 = 99.7 %), with Europe showing the highest prevalence at 30 % (95 % CI: 15–46; I2: 99.9 %) and Asia the lowest at 21 % (95 % CI: 19–24; I2: 98.68 %). The pooled prevalence of resistance among CoNS isolates from patients with OIs was 27 % (95 % CI: 19–35) for ciprofloxacin, 23 % (95 % CI: 12–34) for chloramphenicol, 41 % (95 % CI: 33–49) for tetracycline, and 40 % (95 % CI: 29–51) for trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
In conclusion, CoNS are significant pathogens in OIs, highlighting the need for improved diagnostic tests and updated management guidelines globally.
期刊介绍:
The Ocular Surface, a quarterly, a peer-reviewed journal, is an authoritative resource that integrates and interprets major findings in diverse fields related to the ocular surface, including ophthalmology, optometry, genetics, molecular biology, pharmacology, immunology, infectious disease, and epidemiology. Its critical review articles cover the most current knowledge on medical and surgical management of ocular surface pathology, new understandings of ocular surface physiology, the meaning of recent discoveries on how the ocular surface responds to injury and disease, and updates on drug and device development. The journal also publishes select original research reports and articles describing cutting-edge techniques and technology in the field.
