Microbial keratitis is a potentially blinding condition that must be treated emergently to
preserve vision. Although long recognized as a significant cause of corneal blindness, our …

We re-analyzed the data from a recent large-scale study that reported strong correlations
between DNA signatures of microbial organisms and 33 different cancer types and that …

Metagenomic experiments expose the wide range of microscopic organisms in any
microbial environment through high-throughput DNA sequencing. The computational …

Mycotic keratitis or keratomycosis is a fungal infection with global distribution. The dominant
aetiology of this disease varies based on geographical origin, socioeconomic status, and …

Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare parasitic infection of the cornea that can lead to permanent
blindness if not diagnosed and treated promptly. We collected data on the incidences of …

Bacterial keratitis is a common corneal infection that is treated with topical antimicrobials. By
the time of presentation there may already be severe visual loss from corneal ulceration and …

Infectious keratitis (IK) represents the leading cause of corneal blindness worldwide,
particularly in develo** countries. A good outcome of IK is contingent upon timely and …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a method that allows for high-throughput, massively
