To report trends in antibiotic resistance in cases of bacterial keratitis from a large eye hospital in South India. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, the microbiology laboratory records of patients with infectious keratitis diagnosed at an eye hospital in South India from 2002–2013 were reviewed to determine the proportion with antibiotic non-susceptibility. 3685 bacterial isolates had susceptibility testing performed over the 12-year period. The two most common organisms with resistance results were Streptococcus pneumoniae (N=1204) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (N=894). Antibiotic non-susceptibility was generally uncommon for these two organisms, and no significant trends were detected over the course of the study. In contrast, Staphylococcus aureus (N=211) isolates demonstrated a significant increase in fluoroquinolone non-susceptibility over the 12-year study period. This coincided with a significant increase in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) during the study period, though the increase in fluoroquinolone resistance was likewise seen in methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA). For example, ofloxacin resistance in MSSA increased from 11.1% in 2002 to 66.7% in 2013 (P=0.002). No trends were apparent for the aminoglycocides, cefazolin, or vancomycin, for which in vitro non-susceptibility generally appeared to be low. Resistance to antibiotics was generally stable for infectious keratitis isolates from a large eye hospital in South India, except for S. aureus, which experienced a significant increase in fluoroquinolone resistance from 2002 to 2013. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics currently have poor in vitro activity against both methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus in South India and are therefore not the ideal therapy for Staphylococcal corneal ulcers.
