“…Pneumonia and bacteremia are the two most common clinical presentations of Achromobacter infections in non-CF hosts (26). Infections of the skin and soft tissue, urinary tract, intraabdominal organs, central nervous system (CNS), eye, and ear are less frequently reported, endocarditis and bone infections being very rare (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). Most Achromobacter infections are either hospital acquired or health care associated and often develop in relation to foreign devices (35).…”

Achromobacter is a genus of non-fermenting Gram negative bacteria under order Burkholderiales. Although primarily isolated from respiratory tract of people with cystic fibrosis, Achromobacter spp. can cause a broad range of infections in hosts with other underlying conditions. Their rare occurrence and ever-changing taxonomy hinder defining their clinical features, risk factors for acquisition and adverse outcomes, and optimal treatment. Achromobacter spp. are intrinsically resistant to several antibiotics (e.g. most cephalosporins, aztreonam and aminoglycosides), and are increasingly acquiring resistance to carbapenems. Carbapenem resistance is mainly caused by multidrug efflux pumps and metallo-β-lactamases, which are not expected to be overcome by new β-lactamase inhibitors. Among the other new antibiotics, cefiderocol and eravacycline were used as salvage therapy for a limited number of patients with Achromobacter infections. In this article, we aim to give an overview of the antimicrobial resistance in Achromobacter species, highlighting the possible place of new antibiotics in their treatment.

“…A. xylosoxidans is a rare cause of chronic conjunctivitis, keratitis, and post-surgical endophthalmitis [ 172 , 173 , 174 ]. In their retrospective review of 10 ocular infections caused by A. xylosoxidans , Reddy et al [ 173 ] reported eight cases of keratitis, six of which developed following penetrating keratoplasty and two cases of endophthalmitis.…”

Ocular infections can be medical emergencies that result in permanent visual impairment or blindness and loss of quality of life. Bacteria are a major cause of ocular infections. Effective treatment of ocular infections requires knowledge of which bacteria are the likely cause of the infection. This survey of ocular bacterial isolates and review of ocular pathogens is based on a survey of a collection of isolates banked over a ten-year span at the Dean McGee Eye Institute in Oklahoma. These findings illustrate the diversity of bacteria isolated from the eye, ranging from common species to rare and unique species. At all sampled sites, staphylococci were the predominant bacteria isolated. Pseudomonads were the most common Gram-negative bacterial isolate, except in vitreous, where Serratia was the most common Gram-negative bacterial isolate. Here, we discuss the range of ocular infections that these species have been documented to cause and treatment options for these infections. Although a highly diverse spectrum of species has been isolated from the eye, the majority of infections are caused by Gram-positive species, and in most infections, empiric treatments are effective.

The problem of diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory eye diseases takes a leading place in Russia and in the world, but the most important thing is the correct choice of treatment methods. Purpose of the work: collection and analysis of data on doctors’ preferences under prescribing therapy in patients with inflammatory eye pathology in routine clinical practice. As a result, 5960 clinical cases from 47 Russian cities were analyzed. This article compiles data from October to November 2020. 151 medical researchers were taken part in the participation of the recruitment. Doctors made different diagnoses for referring patients, but significantly more often diagnosis H10.3 was detected — 17.99 % (in 1072 patients). Ophthalmologists preferred to prescribe the following combination of drugs: 1 — antibacterial local, 2 — local antiseptics, 3 — non-steroidal anti-inflammatory local, a combination (antibiotic and glucocorticosteroid), antiallergic in the form of drops of local action. The choice of drugs for inflammatory eye disease is determined by their high efficiency of use for a given disease: antibiotic Signicef® (levofloxacin 0,5 %), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Broxinac® (bromphenac 0,09 %), fixed combination Kombinil® (ciprofloxacin 0,3 % + dexamethasone 0,1 %), Visallergol® (olopatadine 0,2 %) in the form of topical eye drops.
