Detection of contamination during organ culture of the human cornea.
2010
Purpose
Corneas harvested post-mortem are at risk of contamination, therefore antibiotic additives are used in cold storage and organ culture systems. In the latter, sterility testing of the medium is part of the standard protocol. Intuitively, testing after longer organ culture periods should be more likely to detect contaminations than early testing, but may delay allocation. This study evaluates whether an optimal time for detection of donor cornea contamination can be identified.
