TODO - In June 2010, a severe outbreak of 13 cases of post-cataract surgery
endophthalmitis caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
occurred. Pulse-field gel electrophoresis in eye isolates found 95%
genetic similarity; however, extensive environmental and carriage
investigation revealed no source of infection. Copyright (C) 2012 by the
