Trends in the Microbiological Spectrum of Nonviral Keratitis at a Single Tertiary Care Ophthalmic Hospital in India: A Review of 30 years

Joveeta Joseph et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess the trends in microorganisms causing infectious keratitis and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns at a tertiary eye care center in India. Retrospective review of microbiological records from 1991 to 2020 revealed a decrease in bacteria and an increase in fungal isolates. Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Streptococcus pneumoniae, showed a rising trend, while Staphylococcus epidermidis decreased over the 30-year period. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most prevalent gram-negative pathogen, and Fusarium spp. and Aspergillus spp. were the most common fungal isolates. Resistance to various antibiotics, including fluoroquinolones, showed an increasing trend. The changing spectrum of keratitis and the rising antibiotic resistance emphasize the importance of regular surveillance.

Microbial Keratitis in Nepal: Predicting the Microbial Aetiology from Clinical Features

Jeremy J. Hoffman et al.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical and epidemiological features of microbial keratitis in Nepal and developed a predictor score to determine the microbial aetiology. Fungal infection was found to be the main cause of keratitis, with dematiaceous fungi being particularly prevalent. Serrated infiltrate margins, patent nasolacrimal duct, raised corneal slough, and organic trauma were identified as independent predictors of fungal keratitis.

A Systematic Review of Multi-decade Antibiotic Resistance Data for Ocular Bacterial Pathogens in the United States

Paulo J. M. Bispo et al.

Summary: This systematic review compared in vitro resistance data for ocular pathogens in the US from published studies and the Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular Microorganisms (ARMOR) surveillance study (2009-2018), and evaluated trends in bacterial resistance over time. The results showed high resistance among Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci to fluoroquinolones, macrolides, and methicillin/oxacillin, with high rates of multidrug resistance. The ARMOR data suggested slight decreases in resistance to these classes between 2009 and 2018. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) peaked from 2005 to 2015 with a possible decreasing trend in recent years.

Clinical and mycological profile of fungal keratitis from North and North-East India

Yamini Tawde et al.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical presentation, etiological agents, and risk factors of fungal keratitis (FK) cases in two tertiary-care centers in India. The results showed regional differences in the causative agents of FK and highlighted the importance of identifying the ecological niche of potential fungal pathogens.
