Overview
- Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is often a blood-borne infection caused by Enteric organisms-70% (Mono-microbial in 90%).
- Aerobic gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli account for half of the cases.
- Gram-positive cocci Streptococcussp in 20% cases with enterococcus accounting for 5% of the cases
- Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus salivarius are less frequent causes.
- Poly-microbial infection is mostly because of Iatrogenic cause (more likely associated with abdominal paracentesis) or intra-abdominal source of infection.
- A variety of abnormalities have been identified contributing to infection which include:
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Increased colonization of the small bowel with prominent bacterial translocation
- Decreased opsonin function in both blood and ascites
- Impaired complement
- Leukocyte dysfunction
- Decreased antibodies
- Increased immunosuppressive cytokines, endotoxins, TNF
