A number of patients with and without uveitis are used to show that this study of aqueous microbiology suggests the following hypotheses: 1. Routine techniques currently used in most microbiology laboratories overlook classical and variant bacteria which might be isolated from clinical specimens with improved microbiological techniques. 2. Bacterial forms may be present in other ocular tissue when not present in the aqueous. 3. Polymicrobial infections probably occur rather frequently, especially in chronic or subacute inflammatory states. 4. Alterations in various host factors may subject some persons to a greater incidence of inflammatory episodes including uveitis. 5. Antibiotics used in …
