Coming soonEnterococcus peritonitis is an intra-abdominal infection characterized by inflammation of the peritoneal membrane caused by Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic cocci belonging to the genus *Enterococcus* (most commonly *Enterococcus faecalis* or *Enterococcus faecium*).
It frequently arises as a healthcare-associated or device-related complication in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis, as secondary peritonitis following gastrointestinal tract perforation or intra-abdominal surgery, or occasionally as spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in individuals with end-stage liver disease and ascites.
Clinical hallmarks include abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, fever, and, in dialysis settings, cloudy peritoneal effluent containing an elevated absolute polymorphonuclear leukocyte count.
Pathophysiologically, the condition often involves transmural bacterial translocation, touch contamination, or mixed polymicrobial enteric leakage, and it carries elevated risks of refractory infection, catheter removal, and sepsis due to innate and acquired antimicrobial resistance profiles.
