The microbiological profile of microbial keratitis has shown great differences worldwide. Due to the continuous shifting in microbiological profile and antibiotics resistance profiles reported in several studies, microbiological investigations and antibiotic susceptibility are mandatory to provide an effective treatment.","1.
