Bacterial keratitis (BK) is a severe ocular infection that can lead to vision loss, with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) posing a growing challenge. This study retrospectively analyzed 1071 bacterial isolates from corneal infections over a 10-year period (2014-2024) at a tertiary ophthalmic center in Beijing, categorizing them into three distinct phases: pre-COVID-19, during COVID-19, and post-COVID-19. The results indicated significant changes in pathogen distribution, including a marked decrease in Gram-positive cocci (from 69.8% pre-COVID-19 to 49.3% in post-COVID-19, p < 0.001), particularly in Staphylococcus epidermidis. In contrast, Gram-positive bacilli, particularly Corynebacterium spp., increased from 4.2% to 16.1% (p < 0.001). The susceptibility to gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, and ciprofloxacin significantly declined in both Gram-positive cocci and bacilli during the COVID-19 period (all p < 0.01). Gatifloxacin resistance in Staphylococcus rose from pre-COVID-19 (15.2%) to COVID-19 (32.7%), remaining high post-COVID-19 (29.7%). A similar trend was observed in Streptococcus and Corynebacterium, where resistance rose sharply from 12.0% and 22.2% pre-COVID-19 to 42.9% during COVID-19, and remained elevated at 40.0% and 46.4% post-COVID-19, respectively (p < 0.01). These findings emphasize the rapid rise of fluoroquinolone resistance in several bacterial groups, underscoring the urgent need for continuous surveillance and improved antimicrobial stewardship to enhance treatment outcomes.
