Abstract Purpose:This study aimed to investigate the changes in susceptibility of ocular bacterial pathogens to antibiotic eye drop in 2017 and 2022.

Subjects and methods:A total of 257 patients with conjunctivitis(138 in 2017, mean age 54.6±38.3 years;119 in 2022, mean age 67.0±32.6 years) were enrolled from Kofu Kyoritsu Hospital and affiliated hospitals. From these patients, 642 bacterial isolates were collected in 2017 and 2022 and tested for changes in antibiotic susceptibility using chi-square test. The antibiotics examined were cefmenoxime(CMX), chloramphenicol(CP), vancomycin, dibekacin, azithromycin, and five fluoroquinolones(ofloxacin, levofloxacin, tosufloxacin, gatifloxacin, and moxifloxacin).

Results:The bacterial species with the highest detection rates were:1. Corynebacterium sp., 2. coagulase-negative staphylococci, 3. methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci, 4. Staphylococcus aureus, 5. α-hemolytic Streptococcus, 6. methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA), 7. Haemophilus influenzae, 8. gram-positive anaerobic cocci, 9. unidentified gram-positive cocci, 10. Cutibacterium acnes, and 11. Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The five fluoroquinolones demonstrated a significantly decreased susceptibility to Corynebacterium sp., S. aureus, and MRSA. Contrarily, CP remained ineffective against P. aeruginosa;however, its susceptibility to Corynebacterium sp. was significantly increased.

Conclusion:The trend of decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolone antibiotics persists to the present day. Drug resistance to CMX has also increased in certain bacterial species, suggesting that CP may be a useful alternative for treating infections caused by organisms other than P. aeruginosa.
