Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related exit-site Infections caused by Achromobacter denitrificans and A. xylosoxidans

摘要

Achromobacter species (non-fermenting gram-negative rods) are normally found in the skin and gastrointestinal tract. In rare cases, Achromobacter species have been reported to cause continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)-related peritonitis, but they have not in the past been reported as a pathogen in CAPD-related exit-site infection.
