Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the types of pathogens and their antibiotic resistance found in ocular infections over a five-year period at two hospitals in east China.
  • Out of 2727 ocular specimens collected, 827 yielded positive cultures, with bacterial strains (60.85%) being more prevalent than fungal strains (39.15%), and Gram-positive cocci emerging as the most common pathogens.
  • Notably, over 50% of Gram-positive cocci were resistant to fluoroquinolones, while multidrug resistance among bacteria showed a significant decrease over time.

associated endocarditis is extremely rare. We report a case of a disseminated infection with an invasive right atrial mass in a 52-year-old male, 11 months after heart transplantation, referred to our institution for an endogenous endophthalmitis with a one-month history of diffuse myalgias and fatigue. The patient had been supported two times with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during the first three postoperative months.

Scedosporium/Lomentospora species are widely distributed in nature. They are generally saprophytes, but can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients and occasionally in immunocompetent patients that are difficult to treat due to high levels of antifungal resistance. The distribution of Scedosporium/Lomentospora species shows regional differences.
