Abstract
Pasteurella dagmatis was identified as the etiologic agent of peritonitis i n a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient by utilizing a molecu lar kit in our hospital's clinical laboratory. This method would appear a u seful approach to identify a species of Pasteurrella not included in the ex isting database of commercial identification kits when discrepancies exist between phenotypic tests.
