Methods: After the diagnosis of canaliculitis, the unusual finding of yellowish-greenish material supplied from canalicular curettage and canaliculotomy was sent to microbiology laboratory for the presence of aerobic, anaerobic bacteria and fungi. Systemic and topical antimicrobial treatment was administered. Results: Bacteriological stains revealed polymorphonuclear leukocytes and gram-positive cocci. Facultative anaerobe Gemella haemolysans and anaerobe Porphyromonas asaccarolytica were identified according to bacteriological cultures. Routine cultures were negative for fungi. Recurrence was not observed at two years follow-up. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of canaliculitis due to both Gemella haemolysans and Porphyromonas asaccarolytica and is also remarkable ocular infection case occurred after any surgery and/or trauma.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCanaliculitisGemella haemolysansPorphyromonas asaccarolyticaArticle2641831840002174788000142-s2.0-84944404842
