Complicated Pseudomonas aeruginosa peritonitis

Complicated *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* peritonitis is a severe intra-abdominal infection characterized by inflammation of the peritoneum that extends beyond the initial organ source into the peritoneal cavity, involving abscess formation, visceral perforation, or extensive tissue necrosis

Commonly arising in hospitalized, postsurgical, or peritoneal dialysis patient populations, this condition is driven by the opportunistic, Gram-negative pathogen *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*

Pathophysiologically, the organism employs robust virulence factors and biofilm formation that provoke intense peritoneal inflammation, often presenting with abdominal rigidity, purulent or cloudy peritoneal effluent, fever, and sepsis

Because *P. aeruginosa* frequently exhibits intrinsic and acquired multidrug resistance, these infections are associated with poor initial response to antimicrobial monotherapy, secondary complications such as encapsulating fibrosis or abscess loculation, and high rates of procedural source-control failure
