ABSTRACT
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the common gram-negative organisms that cause severe invasive infections in different organ systems. P. aeruginosa has unique intrinsic mechanisms to develop antimicrobial resistance quickly, making it extremely difficult to treat. We report a case of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) P. aeruginosa panophthalmitis due to contaminated artificial tears. This report investigates the role of systemic and intravitreal antimicrobials, summarizes the resistance mechanisms of P. aeruginosa, and provides an overview on cefiderocol, a novel antimicrobial that targets multidrug-resistant (MDR) and XDR Gram-negative pathogens.
