Abstract-Vorschau
Background: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) represents a serious complication in patients with liver cirrhosis. Culture-based methods to detect bacteria in the ascites fluid showed limited sensitivity, and the diagnosis of SBP is therefore usually made by the surrogate of an increased total ascites leukocyte or neutrophil count. Culture-independent 16S rRNA-gene based amplification methods allowed for the de…
