Abstract

Kocuria kristinae is a gram-positive coccus of Micrococcaceae

family. Kocuria kristinae inhabits the skin and mucous membranes.

It can cause opportunistic infections in patients with indwelling

devices and severe underlying diseases.

We describe here a case of acute peritonitis caused by Kocuria

kristinae in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

(CAPD). Additionally, a review of other reported CAPD related

peritonitis by Kocuria kristinae is provided.

The importance of Kocuria kristinae as a pathogen in patients

with CAPD peritonitis should not be underestimated.
