    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Pseudomonas species are known ocular pathogens.
    • Corneal ulcers can lead to severe vision impairment.

    Observation:

    • Two rare Pseudomonas species, P. acidovorans and P. stutzeri, were isolated from corneal ulcers in two separate patients.
    • P. stutzeri was identified for the first time as a cause of corneal disease.

    Findings:

    • P. acidovorans was suspected as the primary pathogen in one case.
    • P. stutzeri infection occurred in a patient with a scarred cornea, suggesting a predisposing factor.
    • Both isolates showed broad antibiotic sensitivity but were resistant to carbenicillin.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential of rare Pseudomonas species to cause severe corneal infections.
    • Suggests P. stutzeri as a novel agent in microbial keratitis.
    • Informs antibiotic selection for Pseudomonas-related keratitis, noting resistance to carbenicillin.
