Abstract
Author(s): Gonçalo Calheiros Cruz; Mariana Sousa; Sara Vilela; Fernando Teixeira e Costa; Francisco Jorge Silva Introduction L. mirabilis is a motile, facultatively anaerobic, gram-negative coccoid bacterium from the Burkholderiaceae family [...]
Lautropia mirabilis is a gram-negative coccoid bacterium isolated from oral and upper respiratory sites with unclear pathogenic potential. We present an exceedingly rare case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis due to L. mirabilis in a patient with a recent history of periodontal infection, successfully treated with intraperitoneal antibiotics. We propose that clinicians consider this organism as a potential cause of illness. Keywords: Lautropia mirabilis, Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis, Gram-negative peritonitis, Case report
