Abstract

Case Findings: A 55yr male patient presented with complaints of pain abdomen, vomiting, constipation, & weight loss.

Aim And Objectives:To isolate the causative agent, empiric therapy and antibiogram.

Methods: Ascitic fluid was sent for grams stain & culture sensitivity. The fluid was centrifuged and the sediment used for making grams stain & processed according to the standard protocols

Result:The organism was identified as Enterococcus faecalis and antibiogram obtained which was sensitive to Quinolones.
