To evaluate the spectrum of organisms causing endophthalmitis and their resistance pattern to standard antimicrobial agents.
Medical records of culture positive eyes treated at Rassoul Akram Hospital for endophthalmitis during the past 5 years were reviewed. Specimens were obtained during pars plana vitrectomy or vitreous tap.
Sixty-five isolates including 36 (55.4%) gram-positive organisms, 28 gram-negative organisms (43.1%), and 1 (1.5%) fungus were studied. The most common organism identified was Coagulase-negative staphylococcus in 16 eyes (24.6%). Among the antibiotics available for intravitreal injection, the least antibiotic resistance was for vancomycin in gram-positive organisms and amikacin and ceftazidime in gram-negative isolates.
Gram-positive isolates were the most prevalent organisms; however, a high isolation rate for gram-negative organisms was obtained. Considering that no single antibiotic provides coverage for all of the organisms, a combination therapy using vancomycin/amikacin or vancomycin/ceftazidime seems to be useful as the initial empiric treatment of suspected bacterial endophthalmitis.
评估引起眼内炎的微生物谱及其对标准抗菌药物的耐药模式。
回顾了拉苏勒·阿克拉姆医院过去5年治疗的培养阳性眼内炎患者的病历。标本在玻璃体切割术或玻璃体穿刺时获取。
共研究了65株分离菌,其中革兰氏阳性菌36株(55.4%),革兰氏阴性菌28株(43.1%),真菌1株(1.5%)。最常见的分离菌是凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌,见于16只眼(24.6%)。在可用于玻璃体内注射的抗生素中,革兰氏阳性菌对万古霉素的耐药性最低,革兰氏阴性菌对阿米卡星和头孢他啶的耐药性最低。
革兰氏阳性分离菌是最常见的微生物;然而,革兰氏阴性菌的分离率也很高。鉴于没有单一抗生素能覆盖所有微生物,使用万古霉素/阿米卡星或万古霉素/头孢他啶的联合疗法似乎可作为疑似细菌性眼内炎的初始经验性治疗方法。
