Abstract

We report a rare case of polymicrobial traumatic endophthalmitis caused by Enterococcus raffinosus and Enterobacter gergoviae with successful interventions of complete pars plana vitrectomy with intravitreal injections of vancomycin and amikacin. In addition, the patient achieved a favourable visual acuity of 20/200.
