Most were from users of the EzriCare brand of artificial tears. The maker has recalled it pending further investigation. Dr. Danielle Robertson, an ophthalmologist with UT Southwestern Medical Center, talks about this with ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôºâ€™s Sam Baker, beginning with the bacteria.

After pushing and shoving on the track, those colonies were more similar. The research is part of the push to identify the microbes that live on (and in) us.
