Purpose
To evaluate bacterial flora of conjunctival sac in patients with Sjögren syndrome and compare it with the flora of healthy individuals.

Material and methods
Bacteriological test was performed on the swabs from the conjunctival sac of 15 patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (PS), 15 patients with secondary Sjögren syndrome (SS) and 30 healthy individuals, chosen at random.

Results
Most of the swabs, in every group, were aseptic. The bacteria found relatively often was Staphylococcus epidermidis or described as the Staphylococcus sp. coagulasonegative. Bacterias: Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium or Enterobacteriaceae were found rarely.

Conclusions
There is no significant difference between bacterial flora of conjunctival sac of patients with PS and SS, when compared to healthy individuals.
