Abstract: Infectious endophthalmitis is a severe ophthalmic emergency. This infection can be caused by bacteria and fungi. For efficient treatment, the administration of antimicrobial drugs to which the microbes are susceptible is essential. The aim of this study was to identify micro-organisms in biopsies of Mexican endophthalmitis patients using metagenomic next-generation sequencing and determine which antibiotic resistance genes were present in the biopsy samples. In this prospective case study, 19 endophthalmitis p… Show more
