Metagenomics of the lacrimal sac in primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction: the Lacriome paper 1

CONCLUSION: This is the first whole metagenome sequencing of the lacrimal sac contents from PANDO patients. Lacrimal sacs harbour diverse microbial communities, including bacteria, viruses, and archaea. Further Lacriome studies may provide clues for a better understanding of the disease aetiopathogenesis.PMID:34261660 | DOI:10.1136/bjophthalmol-2021-319677
