About the Ocular Infections and Microbiology Session
Ocular Infections and Microbiology focuses on infectious diseases affecting the eye and adnexa and the microorganisms responsible for their development. The session addresses microbial diagnosis, keratitis, endophthalmitis, viral and fungal disease, emerging pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, treatment strategies, and prevention of vision-threatening infections.
Abstract Scope and Participation
Submissions may examine bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, or emerging infections; microbiological diagnostics; antimicrobial susceptibility; infection control; therapeutic approaches; and clinical outcomes. Ophthalmologists, microbiologists, infectious-disease specialists, laboratory scientists, researchers, and clinicians managing ocular infections are encouraged to contribute.
