Sumario:The Gram-negative diplococcus Neisseria macacae is a commensal bacterium of the mucosal surfaces in humans. A 52-year-old woman receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was admitted because of abdominal pain and turbid peritoneal fluid. N. macacae was isolated from peritoneal fluid culture and showed susceptibility to ceftriaxone. Despite appropriate antibiotics, the peritonitis was refractory, leading to the removal of the peritoneal dialysis catheter. We herein report the first case of peritoneal dialysis peritonitis caused by Neisseria macacae and review previous case reports of N. macacae infection in humans.
