Figure 5: Predatory bacteria do not cause ocular toxicity in abraded (right) rabbit eyes.
From: Predatory bacteria are nontoxic to the rabbit ocular surface
A 7 mm diameter region of the cornea of NZW rabbits was abraded of epithelial cells. Subsequently, eyes were treated with saline, vancomycin, and predatory bacteria, and photographed with a slit-lamp camera. Clear inflammatory signs are observed in all groups at the 5 hour time point, that persisted only in the vancomycin treatment group. The eye of a representative rabbit for each group is shown.
