The link between bacterial biofilms and eye infections has been established. Bacterial growth occurs in the form of biofilm wherein bacterial strains either attach to the surface or to themselves. Bacterial biofilms may result in eye infections by allowing bacteria to persist on abiotic surfaces that may be present in the eye or by direct attachment on the biotic surfaces of the eye
Chloramphenicol inhibits the synthesis of essential proteins by bacteria, thereby altering the essential functions in the latter.
