We investigated the prevalence of peritonitis-associated strains on the skin of 28 patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were the most frequently isolated organisms. comprising 47% of peritoncal dialysis fluid isolates and 59% of body site isolates. A total of 142 coagulase-negative staphylococci were speciated. tested for their antimicrobial sensitivity and slime production. and identified by phage typing and plasmid-profile analysis.<jats:italic>Staphylococcus epidermidis<\/jats:italic>was the most commonly identified species from both peritoncal dialysis fluid (73%) and body sites (53%). Multiple antibiotic resistance was common, and the greater proportion of isolates were resistant to methicillin: 63\u00b76% of peritoncal dialysis fluid isolates and 61\u00b77% of body-site isolates.isolates.<jats:italic>S. haemolyticus<\/jats:italic>isolates were significantly more resistant to methicillin than other species. By phage typing and plasmid-profile analysis it was shown that peritonitis was rarely caused by skincolonizing strains. In only 3 of 14 patients were peritonitis-associated strains isolated as skin colonizers, and no patients developed peritonitis due to organisms previously isolated as skin colonizers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268800030089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,15]],"date-time":"2009-05-15T09:29:35Z","timestamp":1242379775000},"page":"365-378","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Prevalence of peritonitis-associated coagulase-negative staphylococci on the skin of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"102","author":[{"given":"M.
