Current knowledge on the human eye microbiome: a systematic review of available amplicon and metagenomic sequencing data

Heleen Delbeke et al.

Summary: Insights into the ocular surface microbiome are still in the early stages, with many unanswered questions compared to other human-associated microbial communities. Knowledge on the human microbiome has changed perspectives on bacteria and health, impacting our understanding of human pathophysiology. Microbiome research in ocular medicine may have implications for treatment, and the study outlines potential confounding factors and presents the core ocular surface microbiome based on available data.

Strain heterogeneity, cooccurrence network, taxonomic composition and functional profile of the healthy ocular surface microbiome

Yutong Kang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the diversity, interactions, taxonomic composition, and functional characteristics of the healthy ocular surface microbiome. Differences in microbial diversity among individuals were found, with competitive interactions between Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus pyogenes in ocular surface microbial ecosystems. These findings are of significance for the future development of probiotic-based eye therapeutic drugs.

Characterization of Ocular Surface Microbial Profiles Revealed Discrepancies between Conjunctival and Corneal Microbiota

Anna Matysiak et al.

Summary: The study used RNA-Seq data to assess microbial diversity in human corneal tissue and conjunctival swab samples, revealing that most ocular microbiota were classified into Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria phyla. While bacterial growth was found in only 50% of conjunctival samples, PCR detection provided a broader overview of positive results, and RNA-Seq assessment showed significant variability of corneal microbial communities, including fastidious bacteria and viruses. The combined techniques allowed for a comprehensive characterization of the eye microbiome's elements, particularly in terms of microbiota diversity.
