Evaluation of prophylactic antibiotic regimens on recurrence and mortality in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

With available data, including ours, demonstrating a changing epidemiology for SBP pathogens, further data is required to determine if traditional approaches to secondary SBP prophylaxis remain appropriate.
