Stenotrophomonas maltophilia peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis: A 20-year single-centre retrospective review

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 27 patients over 20 years who got a specific infection in their dialysis fluid. The infection was rare, making up less than 1% of all cases. It is hard to treat because the germ resists many common drugs. This shows a link between this germ and tough-to-treat infections, but it is not proof of cause.
