    Author: Chaker H, Brahim RB, Toumi S, Kammoun K, Mseddi F, Yaich S, Hmida MB.
    Journal: Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl; 2021; 32(3):838-840. PubMed ID: 35102927.
    Abstract:
    Peritonitis remains the most common serious complication associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). The Gram-positive peritonitis with Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus are the most frequent causes, whereas Gram-positive and Gram-negative species remain less frequent. We report an uncommon case of PD-related peritonitis due to Streptococcus salivarius, known as nonpathogen Gram-positive bacteria of oral flora.
