title: Molecular identification of Pasteurella dagmatis peritonitis in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
abstract: Pasteurella dagmatis was identified as the etiologic agent of peritonitis in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient by utilizing a molecular kit in our hospital's clinical laboratory. This method would appear a useful approach to identify a species of Pasteurella not included in the existing database of commercial identification kits when discrepancies exist between phenotypic tests.
