Abstract
Dermabacter hominis was the cause of a peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis. D. hominis was identified by phenotypic criteria and by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. Clinical cure was achieved with cefuroxime treatment despite the isolate's reduced susceptibility to this drug (MIC, 12 mg/liter) on in vitro testing. The successful treatment was probably due to the high concentrations attained by intraperitoneal administration of the drug.Entities:
