  • Title: Quinolone resistance in Oligella urethralis-associated chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis peritonitis.
    Author: Riley UB, Bignardi G, Goldberg L, Johnson AP, Holmes B.
    Journal: J Infect; 1996 Mar; 32(2):155-6. PubMed ID: 8708376.
    Abstract:
    Oligella urethralis is an organism which is normally isolated as a commensal from the genitourinary tract. We describe the first two reported cases of CAPD-associated peritonitis caused by this organism. Both isolates were found to be resistant to ciprofloxacin, while relatively sensitive to a wide range of antimicrobial drugs. These findings indicate that this organism may be an opportunistic pathogen for CAPD patients, and that extensive ciprofloxacin usage provides a selection pressure for emergence of resistance.
