Globicatella sanguinis corneal abscess with endophthalmitis

Globicatella sanguinis is a rare microorganism known to affect the bloodstream, urinary tract, and central nervous system. We report a case of Globicatella sanguinis ocular infection in a 9-year-old boy, who presented with a corneal abscess with endophthalmitis, following trauma. Isolation of the infection using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and determination of its antibiotic sensitivity via Vitek 2 highlight the important role of microbiology laboratories for the diagnosis and management of infections caused by atypical microorganisms.
