An Outbreak of Post-Cataract Surgery Endophthalmitis Caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Ophthalmology, 10/23/09
Pinna A et al. – The outcome of cataract surgery–related P. aeruginosa endophthalmitis is poor. The detection of multidrug–resistant isolates is a serious problem, jeopardizing an appropriate choice of treatment. Polymerase chain reaction with enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus results strongly suggest that the main source of infection in this outbreak was the contaminated air–conditioning system. Polymerase chain reaction with enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus is an inexpensive, fast, reproducible, and discriminatory DNA typing tool for effective epidemiologic surveillance of clinical and environmental isolates of P. aeruginosa.
