B. cereus endophthalmitis is a devastating eye infection that causes blindness due to the release of a variety of extracellular tissue-destructive exotoxins (4, 5), including phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase Cs (PI-PLCs) (6), immune inhibitor A metallopeptidase (InhA) (7), and hemolysin BL (HBL) (8). This evidence concerns the gene INHA and endophthalmitis.
