Clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be characterized as cytotoxic or invasive, based on their differing effects on host cells. Previous studies have shown that strain type influences pathology in animal models. The aim of this study was to determine if invasive and cytotoxic strains differentially impact clinical presentation, outcome, or therapeutic response in bacterial keratitis. P.aeruginosa isolates from the NEI-funded Steroids for Corneal Ulcers Trial (SCUT) were subtyped as invasive or cytotoxic strains. The main outcome measure compared between the two subtypes was change in visual acuity at three months using Huber robust regression, adjusting for topical corticosteroid treatment. Of the 101 confirmed P.aeruginosa isolates from the SCUT, 74 had a classically invasive or cytotoxic genotype. While corneal ulcers caused by genotypically invasive P.aeruginosa strains presented with significantly better visual acuity than those caused by genotypically cytotoxic P.aeruginosa strains when adjusting for the effect of ulcer location (p=0.008), invasive ulcers improved significantly less than cytotoxic ulcers at three months (0.35 logMAR (three and a half line difference), 95% CI 0.04 to 0.66 p=0.03). When compared with topical moxifloxacin alone, adjunctive treatment with topical corticosteroids was associated with significantly more improvement in visual acuity in the invasive subgroup (p=0.04), but was associated with less improvement in vision in the cytotoxic subgroup (p=0.07). The results of this study suggest that rational profiling of differentially expressed virulence determinants, e.g. cytotoxicity and invasiveness for P.aeruginosa, could be used as a tool for decision making in management of infections to optimize outcome.
