Prevalence and predictors of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis due to ceftriaxone-resistant organisms at a large tertiary centre in the USA

The prevalence of ceftriaxone-resistant SBP was significant at a US tertiary centre. Local epidemiological data and identification of risk factors associated with ceftriaxone-resistant SBP, e.g. increased usage of previous β-lactam therapy and invasive gastrointestinal procedure, may help clinicians identify patients requiring alternative empirical antibiotics.
