Ann Ophthalmol (Skokie). 2007 Winter;39(4):351-3. doi: 10.1007/s12009-007-9010-3.

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.
