We documented an increasing trend in the percentage of gram positive bacteria. Levofloxacin monotherapy might still be a good option in patients with gram negative bacterial keratitis, however owing to increasing resistance of staphylococci to fluoroquinolones, a regimen consisting of a combination of fortified antibiotics may be more effective in staphylococcal keratitis.
