PURPOSE: To investigate the microbiological profile of @entity282 in a referral center in Tunisia and to assess the antibiotic sensitivity of the organisms. @entity1 AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study over a period of eleven years, conducted on @entity1 hospitalized with acute @entity86 . Cultures were performed on aqueous (93%) and vitreous specimens (68%) obtained at presentation. Each sample underwent direct examination, culture and antibiotic susceptibilities. RESULTS: The number of @entity282 cases identified during the study period was 308. Organisms were found in 43% of samples ( @entity3225 was bacterial in 39.5%, fungal in 0.9% and polymicrobial in 2.6%). Cultures grew primarily @entity5938 in 31.4% of cases, @entity328 in 22.7% of cases and @entity794 in 12.7% of cases. Gram-positive cocci are more sensitive to @entity2176 and Gram-negative bacilli are more susceptible to @entity800 and @entity2177 . CONCLUSION: In our study, microbiological samples were positive in 43% and coagulase-negative Gram-positive cocci are the most common organisms. However, antibiotic resistance has been increasing over the years.
