Opportunistic peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis: The example of Paracoccus yeei

Christelle Fosso et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

Paracoccus yeei, a Gram-negative coccobacillus, is an emergent opportunistic pathogen. It originates from soil and water. VITEK and MALDI-TOF are used for identification. There are few reports of peritoneal dialysis peritonitis. Its presentation is usually indolent. It can be successfully treated with several antibiotics: β-lactams, aminoglycosides, without removing the catheter.

Keywords: infectious diseases; nephrology.
