Peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis caused by commensal neisseria species: a retrospective case series
Neisseria species can cause PD related peritonitis, and contamination during PD exchange is a plausible transmission route. Our study suggests that empirical therapy with amikacin or third-generation cephalosporins may achieve complete cure in most cases. While the overall outcome of Neisseria peritonitis is generally favorable, biofilm formation warrant special clinical attention due to potential treatment challenge.
