Abstract

We report a case of endophthalmitis who underwent a vitreous biopsy to assess sensitivity and to inject broad-spectrum intraocular antibiotics. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of antibiotics against a coagulase-negative staphylococcus and Proprionibacterium acnes were also assessed.
Drs. Hirsbein and Genevois are from the Service d’Ophtalmologie, Rouen University Hospital, Hôpital Charles Nicolle, 1 rue de Germont, Rouen cedex, 76031, France.
