“…Immunosuppressive drug use increases the frequency of multidrug resistant infection. [3][4][5] In our study urinary system infections have been frequently detected and most frequently E. coli was isolated. According to current literature, it has been reported that urinary system infections are most common in post renal Tx frequently caused by E. coli, and these infections are often related to urosepsis.…”

“…In the treatment of infections caused by gram-negative bacteria use of levofloxacin and cephalosporins; and for resistant strains meropenem are recommended. [5,18,20] Our preference of treatment, in line with the current recommendations in the literature, was ceftriaxone which is a 3 rd generation cephalosporin.…”

“…This finding was consistent with that of the literature. [5] The frequency of infection increased with age and more infections have been found in advanced aged patients. Because we did not have a renal Tx patient with a urinary anomaly we could not do a comparison of this.…”

“…[3,4] In post-renal transplantations (Txs) from cadavers the urinary system infections caused by E.coli are seen more frequently during the early postoperative period; the late-term infections develop within the postoperative five months and mostly appear as an effect of the immunosuppression. [5] Two hundred and thirteen living and cadaver donors, who received renal Tx at our transplantation center between June 2011 and January 2016, were included in this study. The early and late period infections seen in post renal transplant were examined retrospectively and the types of infections, the frequency of the prevalence, the periods of the prevalence, infection agents and predisposing factors were aimed to be determined.…”

The most common complication after renal transplantation are infections. The majority of the infections are seen within the first year especially between 1-6 months. Post-transplant infections are often related to urinary system. E.coli is the most frequently isolated agent and it may be responsible for urosepsis in renal transplant patients. Infection more often seen in renal transplantations from cadavers.

“…The most frequent type of infection in patients undergoing renal transplantation is urinary tract infection, which is typically caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and ESBL-producing organisms (20). Simple urinary tract infections have no significant impact on the longterm survival of kidney transplant recipients if managed promptly (21,22). However, poor control of the infection may lead to DGF and even graft damage.…”

Background: The increasing occurrence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) infections has posed major challenge to solid organ transplantation (SOT). For SOT recipients, high-dose immunosuppressants and broad-spectrum antibiotics can markedly increase the risk of early postoperative MDRO infections and thus have adverse effects on the outcomes of SOT. Here, we analyzed the incidence and clinical features of early MDRO infections after SOT, in an attempt to provide new evidence for the control and treatment of early MDROs. Methods:The clinical data of 133 patients with MDRO infections after SOT in our department from 2017 to 2020 were retrospectively collected, and clinical features including incidence, etiologies, infection sites, and complications, were analyzed. Results:The incidence of MDRO infections after SOT was 9.9%. Simultaneous liver and kidney transplantation patients had the highest incidence of MDRO infections, followed by the recipients of liver transplantation and simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation; patients undergoing renal transplantation had the lowest incidence of MDRO infections. The most common pathogen was extended spectrum betalactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms (n=88, 66.2%), the most common infection site was the urinary system (n=58, 43.6%), and the main postoperative complications were urinary tract infections (n=44, 33.1%) and lung infections (n=41, 30.8%). MDRO infections were cured in most cases.Conclusions: A sound knowledge of the clinical features of MDRO infection after SOT is important for the successful prevention and treatment of these infections.
