First Case Report of Sphingobium lactosutens as a Human Pathogen Causing Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis.

Novel pathogens keep evolving from time to time. In this article, we describe a rare case of the bacterium causing peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in a patient who presented to our dialysis clinic with typical features of abdominal pain and diffuse abdominal tenderness and was successfully treated with the intraperitoneal antibiotic therapy. There were only very few cases of infections caused by species before.
