Reports of &lt;i&gt;Kocuria&lt;\/i&gt;-associated infections in humans have been scarce. Herein, we present the first case of relapsing peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis caused by &lt;i&gt;Kocuria rhizophila&lt;\/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Case Presentation:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; The patient, a 78-year-old male, presented with turbid effluent PD fluid, accompanied by an elevated white blood cell count of 253 cells\/\u03bcL, of which 59% were neutrophils. A diagnosis of PD-associated peritonitis was established, leading to the initiation of intraperitoneal administration of ceftazidime and vancomycin. Subsequently, &lt;i&gt;Kocuria rhizophila&lt;\/i&gt; was identified through the bacterial culture of the dialysate. On the seventh day of initial treatment, the antibiotic regimen was changed to penicillin G, and the patient underwent a 3-week course of antibiotics. However, 1 week after discharge, the patient\u2019s dialysis fluid became cloudy once again, with subsequent detection of &lt;i&gt;Kocuria rhizophila&lt;\/i&gt; in the fluid culture. Ultimately, the decision was made to remove the patient\u2019s PD catheter and transition to hemodialysis. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; PD-associated peritonitis attributed to &lt;i&gt;Kocuria species&lt;\/i&gt; may be considered a potential risk for recurrence. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000534765","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,3]],"date-time":"2024-01-03T22:00:33Z","timestamp":1704319233000},"page":"10-14","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Relapsing Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis due to &lt;i&gt;Kocuria rhizophila&lt;\/i&gt;: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mayumi","family":"Nakata","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Kuji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takumi","family":"Toishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomohiko","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsuro","family":"Kawaji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masatoshi","family":"Matsunami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junko","family":"Fukuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mamiko","family":"Ohara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomo","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,3]]},"container-title":["Case Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/cnd\/article-pdf\/14\/1\/10\/4149659\/000534765.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/cnd\/article-pdf\/14\/1\/10\/4149659\/000534765.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T15:50:23Z","timestamp":1745423423000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000534765"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000534765","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.24878322","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["2296-9705"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2296-9705","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,3]]}}}
