Abstract

A 50-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was admitted with abdominal pain, fever and cloudy peritoneal fluid. The diagnosis was peritonitis, and the causative bacteria were Cellulosimicrobium cellulans and Enterobacter cloacae. She was subsequently treated with the administration of intraperitoneal antibiotics and removal of the infected indwelling catheter. We herein report a case of Cellulosimicrobium cellulans and Enterobacter cloacae co-infection in a patient with peritonitis and review the relevant literature.
