Risk Factors and Outcomes of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing <i>E. Coli</i> Peritonitis in Capd Patients

Abstract

Peritonitis caused by ESBL-producing E. coli is associated with worse clinical outcomes. The use of cephalosporins and gastric acid inhibitors may contribute to its development. Further studies are warranted to investigate and determine the predisposing factors for ESBL-producing E. coli peritonitis.
