Application of Polymerase Chain Reaction-Based Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism in Typing Ocular Rapid-Growing Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Isolates From Three Patients With Postoperative Endophthalmitis

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: We describe postoperative endophthalmitis caused by rapid-growing nontuberculous mycobacteria (RGNTM) in 3 patients after small-incision cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation performed elsewhere and referred to us for management. Subsequent identification and confirmation was carried out with biochemical tests and polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length...
