Core Tip	Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the most typical infection observed in cirrhosis patients. The increasing trend of bacterial resistance development in cirrhotic patients with SBP has been associated with a low treatment efficacy of traditional therapy in nosocomial infections. The use of a broad empirical spectrum antibiotic has been suggested as an alternative. Cephalosporin use should be restricted to community-acquired infections, while changes are necessary with regard to empiric therapy recommendations. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, such as carbapenems with or without glycopeptides or piperacillin-tazobactam, should be considered for the initial treatment of nosocomial infections.
