Peritonitis is a common and serious complication of peritoneal dialysis and often primary factor of change over to hemodialysis treatment. Raoultella planticola is known as as environmental bacterium and rarely causes infections in humans. We present a case of peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis due to Raoultella planticola and review the clinical manifestations and treatment options of this microorganism. As far as we know, this is the third case of Raoultella planticola peritonitis in the literature.
