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. Conclusion:There is an increasing prevalence of enterococcal spontaneous bacterial peritonitis associated with poor prognosis due to multidrug resistance when inappropriately treated. So, the clinicians should consider empirical treatment with anti-enterococcal antibiotics.
