Conjunctival Microbiota and Blepharitis Symptom Scores in Patients With Ocular Rosacea.

However, the observation of different dominant bacterial species in conjunctival microbiota and the observation of worse BLISSs in patients with OR with positive culture might suggest a potential role of conjunctival microbiota in the pathogenesis of OR.
