Causative Pathogens in Endophthalmitis after Intravitreal Injection of Anti-vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Agents [PDF]
Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2018 Intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor is currently the preferred treatment for several posterior segment diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, as well as macular edema and retinal vein occlusion. As an invasive procedure it involves risks.

Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents and antibiotic prophylaxis for endophthalmitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractWe performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether the use of local antibiotics is a beneficial prophylactic treatment for endophthalmitis in patients treated with anti-VEGF agents. We searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases, and the Cochrane Library over the period January 2007 to December 2016.

The Comparison of Fluoroquinolones to Nonfluoroquinolone Antibacterial Agents for the Prevention of Endophthalmitis in a Rabbit Model [PDF]
Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2012 Topical antibacterial agents, used as an off-label indication, are frequently administered pre- and postoperatively to prevent endophthalmitis. We compared topical treatment with fluoroquinolone (FQ) anti-infectives to non-FQ antibacterial agents to prevent Staphylococcus aureus endophthalmitis. We hypothesize that FQ anti-infectives are more effective
