Birds of prey are often affected with external ocular injuries that are routinely treated with antimicrobial agents used for small animals. The resident ocular bacterial and fungal flora is still unknown in birds of prey and this knowledge would be very useful in assessing the accuracy of treatments. In a study involving 65 raptors with healthy eyes, swabs were taken from both eyes to identify the resident bacterial and fungal flora. Fifty-five birds had a positive culture in one or both eyes. Both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms were isolated, with a predominance of Staphylococcus spp., which were found in 52.3% of cultures. Only two fungal species, Aspergillus spp. and Cladosporium spp. were found. The overall results of this study are similar to previous studies carried out in humans and other animals.
猛禽常常受到眼外部损伤，通常使用用于小动物的抗菌剂进行治疗。猛禽眼部常驻细菌和真菌菌群仍然未知，而这方面的知识对于评估治疗的准确性非常有用。在一项涉及65只眼睛健康的猛禽的研究中，从双眼采集拭子以鉴定常驻细菌和真菌菌群。55只鸟的一只或两只眼睛培养结果呈阳性。革兰氏阳性菌和革兰氏阴性菌均有分离出，以葡萄球菌属为主，在52.3%的培养物中发现。仅发现两种真菌，即曲霉菌属和枝孢菌属。这项研究的总体结果与先前在人类和其他动物身上进行的研究相似。
