Propionibacterium acnes is a slow-growing anaerobic bacteria found in hair-follicles and used in the cheese-making industry. It has a propensity for the lens capsule, and can give a characteristic white plaque at this level. It is very slow growing and a cause for late endophthalmitis. People with history of P. acnes endophthalmitis can sometimes develop a recurrence after a Yag capsulotomy.
Question is too vague. I believe you are asking “What is the most common cause of infectious endophthalmitis afer capsulotomy”. Because the most common cause of any endophthalmitis will be sterile inflammatory.
Alternatively the question may read: “what is the differential diagnosis…etc”
