“…Fluoroquinolones have been shown to be effective in inhibiting biofilm formation by downregulation of the quorum sensing system-regulated genes involved in biofilm formation [ 15 ]. Some cases reported relapse of PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes within a few weeks, indicating biofilm formation [ 9 , 12 ]. In the present case, empiric therapy was initiated by administration of cefazolin and ceftazidime.…”

Peritonitis is one of the most important complications in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Appropriate antibiotic treatment against PD-associated peritonitis is necessary to prevent PD catheter removal and withdrawal from PD. Chryseobacterium indologenes is a Gram-negative rod that occurs in the natural environment. C. indologenes is thought to acquire resistance to β-lactam drugs through the production of metallo-β-lactamase and to become resistant to antibiotic therapy through the formation of biofilms. Only a few cases of PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes have been reported to date, and appropriate treatment strategies have not been clarified. In the past, 5 cases of PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes have been reported and 2 patients required catheter removal because of recurrence or refractoriness. In this case, a 51-year-old man with PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes was treated with 2 susceptible antibiotics, including fluoroquinolones to prevent acquired resistance and biofilm formation. There was no recurrence, and catheter removal was not necessary in this case. Collectively, the present case highlighted that PD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes should be treated with 2 susceptible antibiotics including fluoroquinolones for 3 weeks.

“…There are some Chryseobacterium infection case reports from Turkey, too (6,7). CAPD-associated peritonitis caused by C. indologenes has been reported rarely in the literature till date (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). And this is the first case C. indologenes peritonitis reported in Turkey according to the source screening.…”

Peritonitis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is one of the most important causes of increased hospital and antibiotic costs, and mortality and morbidity in these patients. Although the majority of peritonitis cases are caused by Gram positive bacteria, sometimes unexpected microorganism can cause peritonitis. Chryseobacterium indologenes is a member of the human flora widely found in nature and rarely causes of human infections. In this case report, it is aimed to present 68 year-old male patient with peritonitis due to Chryseobacterium indologenes who has been receiving CAPD for two years. The patient responded well to intravenous plus intraperitoneal ciprofloxacin therapy. There was no need to remove the peritoneal dialysis catheter, in this case. Chryseobacterium indologenesis is an extremely rare cause of peritonitis associated with CAPD. This microorganism-induced peritonitis can be treated successfully with intravenous plus intraperitoneal antibiotics without need for withdrawal of the peritoneal catheter.

Peritonitis is a common and serious complication of Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) and its prevention and treatment are very important to reduce patient morbility and mortality. PD-related peritonitis can be caused by many germs; in most cases Gram-Positive Cocci (GPC) are responsible. In our report instead, we present the first case, to our knowledge, of peritonitis due to Chryseobacteriumgleum in a peritoneal dialysis patient.
