Corynebacterium Endophthalmitis

Orthopedic Implant-Associated and Central Venous Catheter-Associated Infections Caused by Microbacterium spp. in the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System from 2000 to 2020

“…Our literature review found four cases of endophthalmitis caused by Microbacterium spp. in vitreal fluid cultures [9][10][11][12]. More recently, a case of Microbacterium maritypicum causing infective endocarditis of a patient's native mitral valve was described; she had a history of tricuspid valve endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus [13].…”

Endophthalmitis Caused by Corynebacterium Species: Clinical Features, Antibiotic Susceptibility, and Treatment Outcomes

“…1 Fifty-three Corynebacterium species have been identified as causes of human infections. 2, 3 Corynebacterium species are a relatively rare cause of endophthalmitis and accounted for approximately 1% of culture positive acute-onset, post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis cases in the Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study.…”

“…21, 22 Endophthalmitis caused by Corynebacterium species was first reported in 1979 and was associated with an intraocular metal foreign body. 23 Since then, there have been several case reports of endophthalmitis caused by Corynebacterium species associated with trauma, cataract surgery (acute- and delayed-onset), and endogenous sources. 24–37 Corynebacterium species have also been identified in cases of scleral buckle-associated infections.…”
