Enterococcal peritonitis in children receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis.
Nephrol Dial Transplant. 2010; (12): 4048-54

Enterococcus is an uncommon peritoneal pathogen in children receiving CPD but represents a potential therapeutic challenge due to its innate resistance to cephalosporins and emerging resistance to glycopeptides.
