Current and emerging therapies for corneal infection: a clinical and laboratory study

Corneal infection or infectious keratitis (IK) is a major cause for corneal blindness worldwide. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy is currently the mainstay of treatment for IK, but the efficacy is being challenged by the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Host defense peptides (HDPs), also k...
