Frequency and antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial agents causing peritoneal dialysis-peritonitis in a Brazilian single center over 20 years

Frequency and antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial agents causing peritoneal dialysis-peritonitis in a Brazilian single center over 20 years

Peritonitis remains the main complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Antimicrobial therapy may be threatened by development of bacterial resistance, demanding continuous surveillance of infectious agents to improve empirical treatment. The aims of this study were to evaluate the bacterial agents c...
