The microbial cause of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis is an important determinant of clinical outcome and the basis of widely used treatment guidelines. Five hundred forty-six cases of peritonitis in 374 patients from 1991 to 1998 were analyzed. The rate of peritonitis declined significantly from 1.37 episodes/patient-year in 1991 to 0.55 episode/patient-year in 1998 (P = 0.02). The rate of Gram-positive peritonitis decreased significantly from 0.75 to 0.28 episode/patient-year during the same period (P = 0.02). Conversely, the occurrence of Gram-negative peritonitis remained constant at approximately 0.16 episode/patient-year (P = 0.28). Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus were the most common causes of peritonitis, isolated in 27.8% and 19.3% of the culture-positive cases, respectively. A distinct decrease in peritonitis caused by S epidermidis was observed, with 0.40 episode/patient-year in 1991 compared with 0.11 to 0.20 episode/patient-year during subsequent years. The rate of infections caused by S aureus decreased significantly over time from a high of 0.21 episode/patient-year in 1992 to a low of 0.04 episode/patient-year in 1998 (P = 0.01). Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and KLEBSIELLA: species were the most common causes of Gram-negative peritonitis, identified in 7.1%, 6.8%, and 5.2% of culture-positive cases, respectively. The most dramatic increase in antibiotic resistance was seen among S epidermidis. From 1991 and 1992 to 1997 and 1998, resistance to ciprofloxacin increased from 5.4% to 47.8% (P = 0.003), and resistance to methicillin increased from 18.9% to 73.9% (P = 0.03). Our study showed significant trends in the causative pathogens of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis and dramatic increases in antibiotic resistance. These data support further study and warrant reevaluation of current treatment practices.
