The most common pathogens associated with peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) are gram-positive bacteria, which constitute 60 - 80% of all isolates. With the advancement of molecular technologies for bacterial identification, cases of CAPD-related peritonitis caused by bacteria previously not known to be associated with this clinical condition have been reported. Here we report the first case of CAPD-related peritonitis due to Laribacter hongkongensis.

is a new emerging foodborne pathogen that causes community-acquired gastroenteritis and traveler's diarrhea. However, the genetic features of have not yet been properly understood. A total of 45 aquatic animal-associated strains isolated from intestinal specimens of frogs and grass carps were subjected to whole-genome sequencing (WGS), along with the genome data of 4 reported human clinical strains, the analysis of virulence genes, carbohydrate-active enzymes, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants were carried out for comprehensively understanding of this new foodborne pathogen.
