Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis. Only a handful of cases have been reported, and the optimal management is still uncertain. We present a case of Listeria monocytogenes peritonitis and perform a review of the literature to elucidate optimal antibiotic therapy.
