Retin Cases Brief Rep
October 2024
Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland, OH 44106.
Purpose: To describe the first case of Coccidioides posadasii endophthalmitis.
Methods: A 41-year-old man referred for acute retinal necrosis (ARN) failing 3 months of outpatient treatment was referred for further management. Three consecutive pars plana vitrectomies were required to identify C.

Fungal endophthalmitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eye's posterior segment that can lead to irreversible vision loss. While relatively rare in western countries, its incidence is notably higher in Asia, particularly India. The condition's prevalence is exacerbated by factors such as intravenous drug use, antibiotics, and ocular surgeries.

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are necessary to efficiently identify potent drug combinations within a large candidate space to combat drug resistance. However, existing ML approaches cannot be applied to emerging and under-studied pathogens with limited training data. To address this, we developed a transfer learning and crowdsourcing framework (TACTIC) to train ML models on data from multiple bacteria.

Endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Gram-negative bacteria is an intra-ocular infection that can rapidly progress to irreversible loss of vision. While most endophthalmitis isolates are susceptible to antibiotic therapy, the emergence of resistant bacteria necessitates alternative approaches to combat intraocular bacterial proliferation. In this study the ability of predatory bacteria to limit intraocular growth of , , and was evaluated in a New Zealand white rabbit endophthalmitis prevention model.

Carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) is resistant to most common antibiotics, becoming the most important and prevalent nosocomial opportunity pathogen. Besides, can also cause severe community-acquired infections, such as primary liver abscess and endophthalmitis. These pathogens are commonly referred to as hvKp.
