In our Ophthalmologic Hospital (Turin ,Italy) was isolated from some years a new pathogenous, in the our experience, expecially in the ocular infections and endophthalmitis. The our casistic of the genus Peptostreptococcus in five years is of 23 cases. In this work are described also 2 clinic cases with final discussion. We have also examinated the sensibility of this pathogenous versus all the antibiotics for topical ocular use.
