Suggest Treatment For Citrobacker Koseri Infection In Eye

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I was diognosed with Citrobacker Koseri in my left eye,which perferated my cornea, which led to loss of vision. I need to know if this had been diagnosed within the first 12 hour range of symptoms ,whether or not that would of made a difference in the outcome. The culture was not taken until 72 hours later by another optomolist specialist.which ordered this culture testing immediatly when they suspected a possible bacterial infection.. Can you please give your opinion on this....I know this is rather a rare infection for the eye, but that is why I am doing follow up to better understand this.
