Usefulness of Gram stain examination of peritoneal fluid in postoperative peritonitis to guide empirical antibiotherapy
2019
Purpose
In postoperative peritonitis, Gram stain examination (GSE) of peritoneal fluid has been proposed as a guide for the prescription of glycopeptides and antifungal therapy in empirical antibiotherapy. No data support this approach for Gram-positive cocci. We aimed to evaluate the performance of GSE in predicting the results of the culture of peritoneal fluid.
