In this report, we present two cases of SBP caused by these atypical organisms. The first case involved a 58-year-old female with a history of hepatitis C-related chronic liver disease and cryoglobulinemic vasculitis, who presented with SBP and hepatorenal syndrome-associated acute kidney injury. <i>Salmonella</i> was identified in both ascitic fluid and blood cultures, but despite appropriate treatment, the patient experienced a fatal deterioration. The second case features a 52-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus and newly diagnosed schistosomiasis, who presented with findings of decompensated liver cirrhosis and SBP. <i>Brucella</i> was isolated from ascitic fluid cultures, and the patient responded well to treatment.
