Successful identification of Granulicatella adiacens in postoperative acute infectious endophthalmitis using a bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene-sequencing platform with MinION™: A case report

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of identifying the bacteria by aqueous sampling and vitreous sampling in postoperative infectious endophthalmitis using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene analysis with a nanopore sequencer (MinION™). Observation: A 55-year-old woman who underwent cataract surgery at an...
