Figure 7. Vancomycin, but not predatory bacteria, inhibited corneal wound healing in vivo.
A 7 mm diameter region of the cornea of NZW rabbits was abraded of epithelial cells. Eyes were treated with saline, vancomycin, and predatory bacteria. Fluorescein was used to reveal epithelial defects, and eyes were photographed with a slit-lamp camera. The eye of a representative rabbit for each group is shown.
