Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the effects of azithromycin (AZM) in treating ocular surface infections by focusing on its anti-inflammatory and anti-virulence properties against Staphylococcus aureus-induced keratitis in rabbits.
- - The results showed that higher doses of AZM significantly reduced both clinical scores of keratitis and the viable bacterial counts in the cornea, indicating effective treatment for the infection.
- - Additionally, AZM demonstrated the ability to inhibit inflammation and bacterial toxin production, suggesting that its therapeutic benefits extend beyond just killing bacteria.
