**3.2 Bacterial etiology of ocular infections**

Among the total bacteria isolated, 28 (31.8%) and 61 (68.1%) were Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, respectively. Mixed infection was found in 10 participants (11.3%). *H. influenza* (29.5%) was the predominant bacteria (**Tables 1** and **2**). The predominant bacterium among almost all clinical presentation was *S. aureus* (27.3%) except for conjunctivitis where the predominant bacteria were *H. infleunza* and *S. aureus* (**Table 3**).
