From colonizer to culprit: genomic and clinical insights into S. epidermidis from post-surgical endophthalmitis
Genomic data suggest that the S. epidermidis isolated from the vitreous of Swedish cases of postsurgical endophthalmitis may originate from the commensal flora of the individual, and not from the healthcare facilities. The type of preceding surgical procedure (anterior vs. posterior segment) may influence both symptom delay and the presence or absence of methicillin resistance.
