Primary peritonitis is an infection of the peritoneum without an evident underlying cause, usually caused by bacteria entering the abdomen through the bloodstream. Secondary peritonitis is caused by an underlying intra-abdominal condition, such as a perforation in the gastrointestinal tract, that leads to contamination of the peritoneal cavity with bacteria from the gut.
Organs such as the appendix, intestines, stomach, gallbladder, and liver can cause peritonitis if they rupture or become infected, leading to inflammation of the peritoneum (the tissue lining the abdominal cavity). Infections or injuries to these organs can result in the leakage of bacteria or other irritants into the abdominal cavity, triggering peritonitis.
Peritonitis is more likely in women due to factors such as a higher incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease, ruptured ovarian cysts, or ectopic pregnancies that can lead to infection in the abdominal cavity. Additionally, women have a higher chance of experiencing complications from conditions such as appendicitis or diverticulitis, which can predispose them to peritonitis.

In the thyoglycollate model of peritonitis, researchers inject thyoglycollate broth into the peritoneal cavities of laboratory animals to induce peritonitis. Then they test their materials to see if they are effective in curing peritonitis.
