Abstract: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a frequent and severe complication that occurs in patient with cirrhosis and ascites. It occurs in 10% to 30% of patients admitted to hospital. The organisms that cause SBP are predominantly enteric. Escherichia coli is the most frequent recovered pathogen, and Gram-positive bacteria, mainly Staphylococcus spp., are being considered an emerging causative agent of SBP. Streptococcus bovis that may be found as part of the commensal bowel flora in about 10% of healthy ad… Show more

“…Our 16S PCR was able to detect bacterial DNA in 100% (17/17) of culture-positive samples, and HRMA was able to correctly identify the bacterial species identified by culture in 70.6% (12/17) of positive samples in our study. The rate of positivity for bacterial DNA, 19.8% (21/106), detected from ascitic fluid samples in our study is comparable with the rates in other reported studies (3,4,8,9,11,12,(19)(20)(21)29). The overall sensitivity for detecting the presence of eubacterial DNA in an ascitic fluid sample and the specificity for the 16S PCR were high, at 100% (17/17) and 91.5% (85/89), respectively.…”

“…Streptococcus bovis is a rare etiology that was first reported in 1994 [1]. A review of the literature revealed nine prior reports of SBP caused by S. bovis, with a total of 16 patients [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. All patients had underlying cirrhosis, with the exception of one case diagnosed with acute alcoholic hepatitis only [4].…”
