Coming soon*Peptococcus* peritonitis is an intra-abdominal infection marked by acute inflammation of the peritoneal cavity caused by anaerobic gram-positive cocci of the genus *Peptococcus* (or historically related gram-positive anaerobic cocci).
Primarily affecting adult and pediatric patients with gastrointestinal mucosal barrier compromise, visceral perforation, surgical contamination, or indwelling peritoneal dialysis catheters, it frequently manifests as part of a polymicrobial anaerobic or mixed aerobic-anaerobic infection.
Clinically, it is characterized by acute abdominal pain, tenderness, guarding, fever, and leukocytosis, pathophysiologically driven by bacterial entry into the peritoneal space that incites exudative inflammation, purulent fluid collection, and the potential for systemic sepsis.
