Immune Inhibitor A Metalloproteases Contribute to Virulence in <i>Bacillus</i> Endophthalmitis
2020-07-06
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial endophthalmitis is a devastating infection that can cause blindness following the introduction of organisms into the posterior segment of the eye. Over half of Bacillus endophthalmitis cases result in significant loss of useful vision. Often, these eyes have to be enucleated.
