Lactococcus Garvieae Peritoneal Dialysis Peritonitis

COrrESPOnDEnCETreatment of L. garvieae infection is similar to that for a streptococcal infection, but most cases require prolonged treatment (4).regimens including ampicillin or amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, netilmicin, and vancomycin or teicoplanin have been successfully administered (2-5).However, it is also important to differentiate L. garvieae infection from other streptococcal infections, because the former organisms are generally resistant to clindamycin, but the latter are not (10).Our patient received IP cefazolin, and the response was also acceptable.
