    Enteric gram-negative bacteria-associated peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis is common. These organisms are such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Enterobacter species. Pantoea dispersa belongs to the order Enterobacterales, it has known benefits and a role in agricultural and environmental biotechnology. Pantoea dispersa, although still relatively rare, is being increasingly recognised to cause human infections. We are reporting a case of PD peritonitis caused by Pantoea dispersa in a kidney failure patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). His peritonitis was treated well with intraperitoneal antibiotics and the patient can resume his CAPD therapy. The increasing reports of Pantoea dispersa-related human infections warrant concerns, both in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients.
