Abstract

Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most prevalent pathogen in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) peritonitis.(1, 2) Peritonitis episodes recur or relapse in up to 36% of cases.(2–4) and a considerable proportion of the recurrent peritonitis episodes is seen in patients infected with either Staph. epidermidis or Staph. aureus.
