Nosocomial and CommunityAcquired Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in patients with liver cirrhosis in China: Comparative Microbiology and Therapeutic Implications Lei Shi1,*, Dan Wu1,*, Lei Wei2,*, Suxia Liu3, Peng Zhao1, Bo Tu1, Yangxin Xie1, Yanan Liu4, Xinhua Wang1, Liying Liu5, Xin Zhang1, Zhe Xu1, Fusheng Wang1 & Enqiang Qin1 Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a common complication of liver cirrhosis. This study was performed to compare the microbiological characteristics of nosocomial and community-acquired episodes of bacterial peritonitis in China. Five hundred and seventy-five strains were isolated from the ascitic fluid of cirrhotic patients from the Beijing 302 Hospital from January 2014 to December 2014. The patients in the community-acquired SBP (n = 311) and the nosocomial SBP (n = 264) groups exhibited significant differences in clinical symptoms (P
