Abstract. Purpose:To report the incidence and drug sensitivity of microorganisms in lacrimal canaliculitis. Cases:This retrospective study was made on 23 eyes of 23 patients who were diagnosed with lacrimal canaliculitis during the foregoing 88 months. The series comprised 5 males and 18 females. The age averaged 72 years. Results:Culture of material from infected canaliculi showed 16 species of aerobic and 10 species of anaerobic microorganisms. Anaerobic microorganisms were detected from 15 eyes(65%). Peptostreptococcus micros was the most frequent and was isolated from 6 eyes. Actinomycetaceae spp. were identified in 6 eyes. Out of the total of 39 strains, 25 showed the highest sensitivity to benzylpenicillin or ampicillin. Conclusion:Anaerobes appear to be causatively involved in the pathogenesis of lacrimal canaliculitis. It is, however, difficult to identify the causative microorganism by culture only.
