Abstract
- monas in 1 and acinetobacter in 1. 40% of CNS and 80% of S. aureus were susceptible to methicillin. Of gram-negative bacteria, E. coli and klebsiella were 100% sensitive to ceftazidime and amikacin, whereas pseudomonas and acinetobacter were resistant to ceftazidime and 100% to amikacin. The incidence of PD peritonitis did not differ from other centers, but the rate of culture negative peritonitis and resistance rate of CNS to methicillin were higher. The combination of a first-generation cephalosporin and an aminoglycoside was superior to the combination of a first-generation cephalosporin and ceftazidime. These findings urge us to reevaluate the culture method and to monitor the epidemiology of PD peritonitis.
