The portal of entry was likely through Tenckhoff catheters. 16S rRNA and secA1 gene sequencing are so far the most reliable methods for the accurate identification of Gordonia species.Journal of clinical microbiology671-6https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4298495biostudies-literatureGordonia species as emerging causes of continuous-ambulatory-peritoneal-dialysis-related peritonitis identified by 16S rRNA and secA1 gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).PMC4298495Wu AKCheung ILeung WSTse CWLau SKTsang CCChan JFWoo PCChen JHLee RALam JYfalseGordonia species as emerging causes of continuous-ambulatory-peritoneal-dialysis-related peritonitis identified by 16S rRNA and secA1 gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).We report here four cases of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis caused by three different species of Gordonia.
