Leuconostoc as a Cause of Endophthalmitis Post-intravitreal Injection of Ranibizumab

Purpose: The authors report a case of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab. Methods: After searching for extensive laboratory tests to isolate the etiologic agent Results: The agent was determined as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, gram-positive cocci, vancomycin resistant.

description Purpose: The authors report a case of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab. Methods: After searching for extensive laboratory tests to isolate the etiologic agent Results: The agent was determined as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, gram-positive cocci, vancomycin resistant. Discussion: Considerations regarding this bacterium were done by calling attention to its rarity, difficulty of isolation, and action on secondary comorbidities as opportunistic pathogen.
