Chryseobacterium indologenes Peritonitis in a Peritoneal Dialysis Patient : A Case Report and Review of Literature

© 2023 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel..

Peritonitis is one of the most important complications in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Appropriate antibiotic treatment against PD-associated peritonitis is necessary to prevent PD catheter removal and withdrawal from PD. Chryseobacterium indologenes is a Gram-negative rod that occurs in the natural environment. C. indologenes is thought to acquire resistance to β-lactam drugs through the production of metallo-β-lactamase and to become resistant to antibiotic therapy through the formation of biofilms. Only a few cases of PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes have been reported to date, and appropriate treatment strategies have not been clarified. In the past, 5 cases of PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes have been reported and 2 patients required catheter removal because of recurrence or refractoriness. In this case, a 51-year-old man with PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes was treated with 2 susceptible antibiotics, including fluoroquinolones to prevent acquired resistance and biofilm formation. There was no recurrence, and catheter removal was not necessary in this case. Collectively, the present case highlighted that PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes should be treated with 2 susceptible antibiotics including fluoroquinolones for 3 weeks.
