- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1) Analysis of the gastrointestinal microbiome in patients with SBP: <br>• Description of the microbiome in those patients in specimen of the oral cavity, the duodenum, the ascites and the stool<br>• Comparison of the microbiome of patients with and without SBP
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 2) Analysis of oral overgrowth of the microbiome in the small intestine by typical oral bacteria by comparison of duodenal and faecal with oral (saliva) samples. <br>3) Changes in the microbiome as risk factor of SBP.<br>• Multivariate regression analysis of SBP risk factors<br>• Association of pathogens in ascites / ascitic microbiome with changes in the intestinal microbiome
