Abstract

Treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus-related peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis can be difficult due to the lack of supporting data outlining the standard of care, high levels of antibiotic resistance, and adverse effects related to therapy. Here, we present a case of M abscessus PD-associated peritonitis treated successfully with clofazimine and omadacycline.
