The most common type of peritonitis is secondary peritonitis, usually caused by leakage or perforation of an abdominal organ, like the appendix. However, another common type of peritonitis is spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) that is most often associated with individuals that have abdominal ascites fluid.
Symptoms of sepsis are fever, increased breathing and heart rate and infection present in another part of the body, such as a urinary tract infection or an infected tooth. Peritonitis symptoms include abdominal pain, may involve vomiting or diarrhea, dehydration and increased heart rate (so some overlap exists).

The gram-negative aerobic bacteria are the major factor in the development of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, most notably of which include Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia. However, Staphylococcus aureus and other gram-positive bacteria are being considered as emerging agents causing this inflammation.
