表皮葡萄球菌,在正常情况下致病力低;但现认为它是眼内炎常见原因,而且是白内障术后植入人工晶体感染的常见病因,偶尔迟迟出现于术后数月。塑料表面细菌粘附能力与细菌活力有关。当细菌粘附于人工晶体表面时,产生一种多糖类的腊梅糖(polysaccharide glycocalyx),它阻止细菌机械性的移动,粘附细菌进而产生粘质(slime),粘质对常规试验 Staphylococcus epidermidis, in the normal case of low virulence; but now that it is a common cause of endophthalmitis, but also cataract surgery is a common cause of intraocular lens implantation, occasionally delayed in a few months after surgery. Bacterial adhesion is related to the bacterial adhesion of plastic surfaces. When the bacteria adhere to the surface of the intraocular lens, a polysaccharide glycocalyx is produced that prevents the bacteria from moving mechanically, adhering to the bacteria and producing slime,
