RESISTANCE TO 4TH GENERATION FLUOROQUINILONES

ScienceDirect - Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery : Fourth-generation fluoroquinolone-resistant bacterial keratitis after refractive surgery

The first two cases of resistant bacterial keratitis were reported in the literature. The first had Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis afer PRK despite treatment with moxifloxacin. The second was a methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus keratitis resistant to gatifloxacin.

This is not comfortable news.
