Table 2 Distribution of causative pathogens among the different groups (n = 55). Mixed cultures yielded a combination of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and/or fungal isolates. Gram-positive bacteria were predominant in the post-traumatic and endogenous groups, fungi in the chronic post-operative and keratitis groups, and mixed pathogens in the bleb-associated group
