Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Endophthalmitis is a severe intraocular infection, often caused by Gram-positive bacteria like Enterococcus faecalis.
  • Antibiotic resistance necessitates evaluating alternative treatment options for bacterial endophthalmitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the bactericidal efficacy of daptomycin (DAP) and vancomycin (VAN) in a rabbit model of Enterococcus faecalis endophthalmitis.

Main Methods:

  • An experimental model of E. faecalis endophthalmitis was established in New Zealand rabbits.
  • Rabbits received intravitreal injections of DAP, VAN, or balanced salt solution (BSS) and were monitored for clinical and microbiological outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Both DAP and VAN showed significant reduction in bacterial load and clinical scores compared to BSS.
  • DAP exhibited significantly lower bacterial counts on day 1 post-treatment compared to VAN.
  • Sterilization rates by day 4 were 62% for DAP and 50% for VAN.

Conclusions:

  • Daptomycin is effective in treating experimental Enterococcus faecalis endophthalmitis.
  • Daptomycin demonstrates promising bactericidal activity, potentially offering an alternative treatment for this severe ocular infection.
