Özet
Eggerthia catenaformis is a Gram-positive bacilli and an anaerobic and non-spore-forming bacterium, which rarely causes infections in humans. We present a case of peritonitis caused by E. catenaformis in a peritoneal dialysis patient. The isolate was identified as E. catenaformis with the MALDI-TOF MS method as in other cases in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of peritonitis caused by E. catenaformis in a human host.
