Answer:

The correct answer is case control study.

Explanation:

A study in which a comparison is made between the patients carrying the disease with the patients not carrying the disease is known as the case-control study. In the mentioned study, the one carrying the disease is termed as cases, and the one that does not possess the disease is termed as controls.  

This form of study is generally done to predict the association between the disease and the risk factor. In case-control studies, only observation is done as no attempt is made to change the course of the condition. The prime objective of the study is to predict the exposure of the risk elements for the individuals present in two groups, that is, controls and cases. This form of study is also called case-referent studies or retrospective studies.

SBP is a serious complication in patients with cirrhosis with high mortality rates (20–40%).

Patients at risk of developing SBP can be categorized in three groups firstly patients with active variceal bleeding patients with ascitic fluid protein <10 g/dl secondly those with a prior episode of SBP.

The most common bacteria causing SBP are gram-negative Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae usually only a single organism is involved. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), an infection of ascitic fluid without a definitive intra-abdominal source that can be surgically treated is a common complication in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP),is treated with a 10 to 14 day course of antibiotics .
