Abstract
|
|
|
|
Paracoccus yeei is rare, opportunistic pathogen which can cause various diseases. Here, we report a case of peritonitis caused by P. yeei, which was successfully treated with cefazolin and gentamicin without catheter removal. In addition, we investigated the presence of several putative virulence genes that showed higher similarity with a previously characterized Korean isolate than with an isolate from the USA.
