Streptococcus salivarius peritonitis in an infant receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis.

We describe a 4-month-old male who developed S. salivarius peritonitis while receiving automated peritoneal dialysis and who was successfully treated with a 14-day course of intraperitoneal vancomycin. Subtyping episodes of S. viridans-related infection is essential for the identification of S. salivarius. PMID: 33084495 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
