Highlights disorders, procedures, and substances that encourage or prevent bacterial translocation, the essence of SBP.
Written by the clinicians who first recognized, defined, and studied this syndrome and its variants, Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

compares the efficacy and adverse effects of antibiotic agents, their routes of administration, dosages, and durations of therapy

presents in detail antibiotics and other therapies that prevent SBP

examines the prevalence and significance of renal dysfunction in SBP

focuses on liver transplantation in managing and preventing SBP and cirrhosis

considers why SBP may occur in patients with disorders other than and in the absence of cirrhosis or liver disease
