PATHOGENS
- Usually, inflammatory and noninfectious
- If infectious, frequently polymicrobial. Leading pathogens:
- Gram Negatives:
- Enterobacterales: E. coli, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species
- Pseudomonas species are more common in hospital-acquired infections but also associated with community-acquired cholecystitis
- Gram Positives:
- Anaerobes:
- Clostridium and Bacteroides species
- Gram Negatives:
- The pathogenic role of enterococci and anaerobes is not well defined, and empirical coverage is not usually required.
- Organisms cultured from bile/gallbladder: unclear pathogenicity unless also recovered in blood
