Discussion (10 hours from now)

Note: Ensure that your research is limited to infections not caused by direct trauma to the eye.

Based on your research, respond to the following:

• How does such a sensitive organ protect itself against such common infections?
• What are the main causes for fungal eye infections?
• Why is an immunocompromised host more likely to get a fungal eye infection (excluding traumatic infections)?

Autoclaving 

• Provide an explanation on how the pressure in an autoclave can influence the temperature and therefore the timing of the sterilization process.
• Compare and contrast the microbial destruction ability of moist versus dry heat. (Note: Use the Microbial Destruction Ability Comparison Template to compare and contrast between moist versus dry heat.)
