To present our findings in a case of delayed-onset postoperative endophthalmitis caused by <jats:italic>Brachybacterium paraconglomeratum<\/jats:italic>, a rare organism. <jats:italic>Observations<\/jats:italic>. A 57-year-old man presented with epiphora and photophobia 17 weeks after a routine cataract extraction with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Because endophthalmitis was suspected to be caused by a low-grade pathogen or fungus, an anterior chamber tap was performed. However, both multiplex PCR and culturing were negative. The patient was treated with topical cefmenoxime, oral minocycline, and subconjunctival injection of vancomycin and ceftazidime, but the intraocular inflammation increased. Then, the anterior chamber was tapped again, and the second PCR amplification and direct sequencing which targeted <jats:italic>Actinomycetes<\/jats:italic> detected <jats:italic>Brachybacterium paraconglomeratum<\/jats:italic>. This pathogen is uncommon for human infections. He was treated with oral amoxicillin, and his intraocular condition slowly improved. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. This is the first reported case of an ocular disorder caused by <jats:italic>B. paraconglomeratum<\/jats:italic>. We recommend that <jats:italic>B. paraconglomeratum<\/jats:italic> be considered in cases of delayed-onset postcataract endophthalmitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/1513069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,12]],"date-time":"2020-03-12T23:30:35Z","timestamp":1584055835000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["<i>Brachybacterium paraconglomeratum<\/i> Endophthalmitis Postcataract Operation"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9071-9657","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kazuhiro","family":"Murata","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Yanagido, Gifu-shi, Gifu 501-1194, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Ozawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Yanagido, Gifu-shi, Gifu 501-1194, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8381-1794","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hideaki","family":"Kawakami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Gifu Municipal Hospital, 7-1 Kashima-cho, Gifu-shi, Gifu 500-8513, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiyofumi","family":"Mochizuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Yanagido, Gifu-shi, Gifu 501-1194, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiyofumi","family":"Ohkusu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Tokyo Medical University, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jiac.2018.06.005"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.2017"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/00207713-38-1-45"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/00207713-45-1-160"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.00658-08"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1476-0711-13-1"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.2012.345"},{"key":"9","volume-title":"Specimen collection, transport, and processing: mycology","year":"2003"},{"key":"10","volume-title":"Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Gordonia, Actinomadura, Streptomyces and other aerobic actinomycetes","year":"2003"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/ar2748"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2011.08.029"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.65019-0"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.052464-0"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.023176-0"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.058388-0"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0924-8579(01)00375-2"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criopm\/2020\/1513069.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criopm\/2020\/1513069.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criopm\/2020\/1513069.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,12]],"date-time":"2020-03-12T23:30:37Z","timestamp":1584055837000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criopm\/2020\/1513069\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,12]]},"references-count":16,"alternative-id":["1513069","1513069"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2020\/1513069","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6722","2090-6730"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6722","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6730","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,12]]}}}
