Abstract
Ascites is the most common complication of the decompansated cirrhosis. The most common organisms isolated in patients with ascidic fluid infections and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) are intestinal pathogens including Escherichia coli, Gram-positive cocci (mainly Streptococcus species) and Enterococci. As an infectious pathogen Vagococcus spp. can be isolated from animals such as pigs, cats, horses and fishes and also rarely in humans. In this paper, we present a case of Vagococcus fluvialis peritonitis which is the first one reported in a cirrhotic patient with ascites.
