Acute Endophthalmitis Caused by Leuconostoc spp. following Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection

In conclusion, the management of acute endophthalmitis caused byLeuconostoc spp., a gram-positive coccobacillus, can be particularly challenging due to its inherent resistance to vancomycin. PPV with intravitreal amikacin led to resolution of endophthalmitis. Our case expands the number of cases of endophthalmitis caused byLeuconostoc spp. and highlights the possibility ofLeuconostoc-related endophthalmitis in an outpatient setting in an immunocompetent host.Case Rep Ophthalmol 2017;8:510 –514
