Abstract
SUMMARY: Pantoea agglomerans is usually the most common organism transmitted through plant thorn injuries. This report is of a female patient maintained on chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) who developed peritonitis attributed to P. agglomerans. Peritonitis is an uncommon complication of P. agglomerans and there is no previous report of peritonitis associated with this organism in a CAPD patient. The source of infection was thought to be due to rose‐thorn injury. Antibiotic therapy with ceftazidime and amikacin i.p. led to a clinical improvement, with disappearance of the organism in the peritoneal fluid.Keywords
