Endogenous Endophthalmitis: yield of the diagnostic evaluation.

Background: Endogenous endophthalmitis is an infection of the eye secondary to sepsis, occurring in 0.04-0.5% of bacteremia or fungemia.

Culture-Positive Endophthalmitis After Open Globe Injuries With and Without Retained Intraocular Foreign Bodies.

Background And Objective: To report the visual and anatomical outcomes and microbiologic spectrum of culture-positive endophthalmitis in open globe injuries (OGIs) with or without intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs).

Patients And Methods: A retrospective, interventional case series of OGIs (n = 718) treated between 2004 and 2015. Patients underwent a management protocol for OGI, including systemic broad-spectrum antibiotics, on presentation.

GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA FROM PATIENTS WITH ENDOPHTHALMITIS: DISTRIBUTION OF ISOLATES AND ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITIES.

Purpose: To study the distribution of isolates and antimicrobial susceptibility of gram-negative bacteria among culture-positive vitreous samples from patients with endophthalmitis.

Methods: The records from culture-positive vitreous isolates (endophthalmitis cases) during a 24-year period (December 1990 to December 2014), at the Microbiology Department of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute were reviewed.

Results: In the current study, gram-negative bacteria were reported in 246 (11.
