Corynebacterium group JK peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Corynebacterium group JK is described as the aetiologic agent of a second episode of peritonitis which occurred after a period of antibiotic treatment for likely endogenous peritonitis. Inclusion of vancomycin is suggested for treatment of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) peritonitis in patients colonized by these multiresistant bacteria.
