• Methylobacterium - peritonitis - anti-infection therapy - renal insufficiency - clinical pharmacist

Clinical pharmacists participated in the drug therapy of peritonitis caused by Methylobacterium infection in a patient with renal insufficiency. Based on the knowledge of clinical pharmacy, the patient's condition and laboratory parameters, the literature, and the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of antibiotics, amikacin in combination with ciprofloxacin was suggested for anti-infection therapy. During the treatment, clinical pharmacists timely evaluated the efficacy of antibiotics, monitored the adverse reactions, and provided individualized pharmaceutical care in the patient.
