Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is increasing, with Gram-positive and multidrug-resistant bacteria. Current antibiotic guidelines for SBP may fail due to rising resistance, necessitating reassessment.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Hepatology

Context:

  • Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a frequent and serious complication in patients with cirrhosis.
  • High mortality rates associated with SBP underscore the need for effective management strategies.
  • Antibiotic resistance poses a significant challenge to treating SBP effectively.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the epidemiological and bacteriological characteristics of SBP.
  • To determine the antibiotic resistance patterns of pathogens causing SBP.
  • To inform empirical antibiotic choices for improved SBP management at CHU Mohammed VI.

Summary:

  • A 12-month prospective study analyzed 137 ascitic fluid samples, identifying cirrhosis as the primary cause of ascites.

  • SBP prevalence was 13.87%, with a high rate of culture-negative neutrocytic ascites (63.16%).
  • Gram-positive cocci were the predominant pathogens (56.67%), with significant rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (28.57%) and multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (69.23%).

    • Impact:

    • Findings indicate a rising prevalence of SBP caused by Gram-positive and multidrug-resistant bacteria.
    • Current empirical antibiotic therapy for SBP, often third-generation cephalosporins, faces a high risk of treatment failure.
    • The study highlights the urgent need to reassess current antibiotic guidelines for SBP management.
