Description
This retrospective study at Nalanda Medical College and Hospital, Patna, evaluated the microbiological profiles and antibiotic sensitivity of pathogens in postoperative endophthalmitis from December 2020 to June 2023. A total of 92 patients were included, with Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida species identified as the predominant pathogens. The study highlighted a high rate of antibiotic resistance, particularly to penicillin and cephalosporins, necessitating a reconsideration of current prophylactic antibiotics used in ocular surgery. The findings emphasize the importance of rapid microbial identification and tailored antibiotic therapy to enhance patient outcomes in postoperative endophthalmitis management.
