Under physiological conditions, the eyeball is protected and covered by a community of non-pathogenic microorganisms, the ocular microbiome. However, in the event of penetrating, accidental, surgical or injection-associated trauma, the injury that is generated can facilitate the migration of these micro-organisms within the eye itself, with the following infectious outcome. Suffice it to say that up to 82% of the post-cataract endophthalmitis are caused by the same microbial communities that populate the eye, an estimate that underlines the need for know and monitor the distribution of these ocular micro-organisms and their possible antibiotic resistance.

Eye infections can vary in nature, complexity and severity. Bacterial conjunctivitis is probably the most common infection, while the most serious, but less common, is endophthalmitis, which, in the......
