  1. The results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing for the isolated Kocuria sp. are shown in Table 2. The Kocuria sp. isolated from the corneal shield ulcer of the AKC patient showed susceptibility to ampicillin, benzylpenicillin, cefaclor, imipenem/cilastatin, and clindamycin. Susceptibility was also shown to vancomycin and levofloxacin, but the minimum inhibitory concentration was 1 μg/mL
  2. The results of polymerase chain reaction for Herpes simplex virus DNA were negative in both eyes
