Changing microbiology and outcomes of PD-associated peritonitis over four decades
Our findings show temporal changes of microbiological spectrum of PD-associated peritonitis over four decades. Polymicrobial and Gram-negative peritonitis were associated with poorer outcomes, emphasizing the need for ongoing microbiological surveillance and antibiotic stewardship to optimize PD care.
