Bacterial endophthalmitis caused by Serratia sp. nov. In rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Abstract

Bacterial endophthalmitis is a rare inflammation (TANAKA, 2019) that causes destruction and necrosis (TANAKA et al., 2011) of the structural components of the eyeball, through the penetration of infectious agents (JAIN et al., 2009; TIECCO et al., 2022) for the posterior segment of the eye, especially after intraocular surgeries (CARVALHO et al., 2021), traumas and systemic diseases (DURAND, 2017; TRAD et al., 2018; PUJARI et al., 2022), leading to vision loss (COELHO et al., 2015) and in more severe cases, enucleation (JACKSON, T. L. et al., 2014; JACKSON, TIMOTHY L. et al., 2014).
