Peritonitis is a major cause of PD failure and change of therapy to haemodialysis. An update on peritoneal dialysis-related infections has recommended the use of a first generation cephalosporin or vancomycin as an empirical therapy for Gram-positive organisms. <jats:italic>\n                     <jats:named-content content-type=\"genus\">\n                        <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/doi.org\/10.1601\/nm.5449\" xlink:type=\"simple\">Pediococcus<\/jats:ext-link>\n                     <\/jats:named-content>\n                  <\/jats:italic> spp. is a Gram-positive environmental cocci that have been increasingly reported from various nosocomial infections but very rarely from peritoneal dialysis infections.
