About Serratia peritonitis.

Serratia peritonitis is an uncommon, severe bacterial infection and inflammation of the peritoneal cavity caused by species of the Gram-negative opportunistic bacillus *Serratia*, most frequently *Serratia marcescens*.

It predominantly affects individuals receiving peritoneal dialysis or hospitalized, immunocompromised patients with indwelling abdominal catheters or invasive abdominal procedures.

Pathophysiologically, the organism colonizes peritoneal catheter access sites or the lumen, forming resilient biofilms and producing inducible beta-lactamases that impair antimicrobial efficacy.

Clinically, it manifests with cloudy dialysate effluent rich in neutrophilic leukocytes, acute abdominal pain, rebound tenderness, nausea, and systemic fever, frequently carrying an elevated risk of treatment failure, relapse, and dialysis catheter loss compared to Gram-positive peritonitis.
