WCN24-1974 THE CLINICAL COURSE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS LUGDUNENSIS PERITONEAL DIALYSIS RELATED PERITONITIS – A MATCHED COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Staphylococcus lugdunensis (S. lugdunensis) is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus species (CoNS) that has been increasingly recognised to cause serious infections with virulence resembling staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). S. lugdunensis have been shown to cause a variety of infections such as infective endocarditis. However, no studies have evaluated the characteristics and outcomes of patients with S. lugdunensis peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis compared those with S. aureus peritonitis.
