Periton Diyalizi İle ilişkili Peritonitlerin İrdelenmesi

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the causative microorganisms isolated in peritonitis attacks in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in our hospital and methicilline resistance rate in Staphlococci. Material and methods: 194 patients in the peritoneal dialysis unit of XXXXl Training and Research Hospital, Nephrology Clinic, between January 2009 and 2020, were evaluated retrospectively in terms of peritonitis development, causative microorganisms and methicillin resistance in Stapylococci, which is the most common causative agent. Results: Peritonitis attack developed in 149 out of a total of 194 patients. The causative agent has been isolated in 91 (61%) of the patients who developed peritonitis. When we look at the order of frequency among all microorganisms isolated, methicillin-susceptible Staphylococci (MHS) 59 (44.02%), methicillin-resistant Staphylococci (MRS) 28 (20.89%), Escherichia coli 12 (8.95%), Streptococcus spp 12 (8.95%), Enterobacter spp 7 (5.22%), Pseudomonas spp 4 (2.98%), diphtheroid bacilli 4 (2.98%), Klebsiella spp 2 (1.49%), Acinetobacter spp 1 (0.07%), a total of 129 bacteria, including five fungi were detected. Methicillin resistance rate was 32.18% among Staphylococci, which was found to be the most common causative agent. Conclusion: There is a need for studies with large patient groups to show the agents of peritonitis and the change in the resistance profile these microorganisms.
