Pseudomonas aeruginosa-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Modulate Corneal Inflammation: Role in Microbial Keratitis?

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis occurs following trauma, in immunocompromised patients, and in otherwise healthy contact lens wearers. Characterized by a light-blocking infiltrate, P. aeruginosa keratitis is the most serious complication associated with contact lens wear and, in severe cases, can lead to vision loss.
