“…Peritonitis due to E. gallinarum is rarely observed. Therefore, very few cases have been reported, involving patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis with decompensated hepatic cirrhosis who were successfully treated with ampicillin (7,8).…”

“…However, peritonitis due to Enterococcus gallinarum is rarely reported in the literature, since E. gallinarum does not usually cause disease in humans (6). Indeed, to our knowledge, only a few cases of peritonitis caused by E. gallinarum have been reported, most of which involved patients diagnosed with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis with hepatic cirrhosis (7,8). Furthermore, only two cases of PD-related peritonitis due to E. gallinarum have been described in the medical literature (9,10).…”

A 65-year-old woman with a history of peritoneal dialysis undergoing hemodialysis at our hospital presented with a fever after experiencing gastroenteritis symptoms. She had an implanted peritoneal dialysis catheter for draining chylous ascites. After commencing empirical treatment with meropenem, peritoneal effluent samples revealed an increased white blood cell count, and peritonitis was diagnosed. Enterococcus gallinarum was detected in blood and effluent cultures. Meropenem was changed to vancomycin based on susceptibility testing but subsequently restarted and thereafter changed to ampicillin following exacerbation of peritonitis. Finally, catheter removal led to complete recovery. E. gallinarum is vancomycin-resistant and a rare cause of peritonitis.

“…However, they can also cause opportunistic infections, which have been documented, leading to millions of annual infections [ 7 ]. There have been only a few reported cases of E. gallinarum peritonitis (Table 2 ); all have been associated with cirrhosis, i.e., part of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, not PD-related peritonitis [ 8 - 12 ]. We present the second reported case in the medical literature of PD-related peritonitis caused by E. gallinarum [ 13 ].…”

Aquaculture plays a key role in food production globally and provides a valuable source of protein and nutrition, addressing a worldwide growing demand. Oplegnathus punctatus (spotted knifejaw) is an economically important fish species with a high market value and demand. Previous studies on O. punctatus focused mainly on gonadal development, chromosomal microstructure, selective breeding, characterization of immune genes, and viral diseases. There is no published scientific research regarding vibriosis in this fish species. In this study, two potential pathogenic bacteria, Vibrio harveyi and Enterococcus gallinarum, were isolated from moribund cultured O. punctatus. The sequence of the universal 16S rDNA gene was used to identify potential pathogenic bacteria isolated from the moribund O. punctatus, and morphological assessments and API20E tests of the bacterial isolates were conducted to verify the identity and biochemical characteristics of the isolates. Injection of E. gallinarum did not lead to mortality in O. punctatus during the 21 days of observation. In contrast, fish died overnight when challenged with V. harveyi at 1.25 × 105 CFU/g body weight, suggesting that the cause of death of the cultured O. punctatus was V. harveyi infection. Antimicrobial sensitivity analyses revealed that the V. harveyi strain NTOU is sensitive to flumequine, doxycycline, oxolinic acid, and amoxycillin. Importantly, we demonstrated for the first time that intraperitoneal administration of an inactivated V. harveyi whole-cell vaccine resulted in a high level of protection against V. harveyi infection in O. punctatus.
