ABSTRACT
Endophthalmitis is a well-recognized, frequently devastating ophthalmic disease. The colonization of the eye and the subsequent development of endophthalmitis may be exogenous (including postsurgical and post-traumatic infections) or it may be of endogenous origin, representing a metastasis from a focus of infection elsewhere in the body associated with bacteremia (such as meningitis or cellulitis).
