Staphylococcus hominis (S. hominis) is a coagulase-negative Staphylococci and an infrequent cause of endophthalmitis. Due to its ability to produce biofilm, especially in diabetic patients, strains may acquire antibiotic resistance. We present two cases of S. hominis endophthalmitis, one with acute endophthalmitis after intravitreal bevacizumab injection and one with chronic endophthalmitis following undiagnosed penetrating ocular trauma. Although there are only four published S. hominis endophthalmitis cases in the literature, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no previously published case after intravitreal bevacizumab.
人葡萄球菌(S. hominis)是凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌,也是眼内炎的不常见病因。由于其产生生物膜的能力,尤其是在糖尿病患者中,菌株可能会获得抗生素耐药性。我们报告了两例人葡萄球菌眼内炎病例,一例是玻璃体内注射贝伐单抗后发生的急性眼内炎,另一例是未诊断的穿透性眼外伤后发生的慢性眼内炎。尽管文献中仅有四起已发表的人葡萄球菌眼内炎病例,但据我们所知,此前尚无玻璃体内注射贝伐单抗后发生该疾病的病例报告。
