  • Title: Asaia bogorensis peritonitis identified by 16S ribosomal RNA sequence analysis in a patient receiving peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: Snyder RW, Ruhe J, Kobrin S, Wasserstein A, Doline C, Nachamkin I, Lipschutz JH.
    Journal: Am J Kidney Dis; 2004 Aug; 44(2):e15-7. PubMed ID: 15264206.
    Abstract:
    Here the authors report a case of refractory peritonitis leading to multiple hospitalizations and the loss of peritoneal dialysis access in a patient on automated peritoneal dialysis, caused by Asaia bogorensis, a bacterium not previously described as a human pathogen. This organism was identified by sequence analysis of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Unusual microbial agents may cause peritonitis, and molecular microbiological techniques are important tools for identifying these agents.
