description Peritonitis is the most common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and an important cause of PD failure. There are numerous etiological agents, mostly bacteria. Pantoea spp is a rare cause of peritonitis. We describe three cases of Pantoea peritonitis in three PD patients. Previous reports have identified risk factors such as close contact with plants and animals. We review the typical clinical presentation and prognosis. It is fulcral to teach patients about the risks regarding proximity to plants and animals to prevent this type of infection.
