Corynebacterium group JK peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

M Altwegg et al. Klin Wochenschr. .

Abstract

Corynebacterium group JK is described as the aetiologic agent of a second episode of peritonitis which occurred after a period of antibiotic treatment for likely endogenous peritonitis. Inclusion of vancomycin is suggested for treatment of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) peritonitis in patients colonized by these multiresistant bacteria.
