Gram-negative peritonitis significantly increased in the most recent period (P4), impacting patient outcomes.
The overall cure rate in P4 was 63%, with gram-positive bacteria showing the highest cure rate at 72%.
Analysis of peritonitis cultures was performed over four decades, revealing shifts in pathogen distribution and antibiotic susceptibility.
Ongoing microbiological surveillance is essential for optimizing care in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
