KPC-2-producing Enterobacter cloacae and pseudomonas putida coinfection in a liver transplant recipient.
Carbapenemases are among the newest resistance mechanisms to emerge in some gram-negative bacteria. We describe bacteremia in a critically ill liver transplant recipient infected with KPC-2-producing Enterobacter cloacae and Pseudomonas putida. Although this enzyme has been previously described in Enterobacter spp., this is the first report of KPC carbapenemase in P. putida.
متن کاملTransmission of infection to liver transplant recipients from donors with infective endocarditis: lessons learned.
Donors not meeting standard criteria, such as those with bacteremia, are now being used in response to the increasing need for organs for transplantation. Recommended strategies to prevent the occurrence of donor-derived bacteremia include the use of directed antibiotic prophylaxis. However, this approach does not eliminate the risk of infection transmission. Similarly, the management of organ ...
متن کاملBloodstream Infections among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: Eight Years' Experience from a Turkish University Hospital.
BACKGROUND Bloodstream infections (BSI) are frequently seen after solid organ transplantation. The incidence of bloodstream infections differs among the types of transplantation. The microbiological features and antimicrobial resistance patterns change from centre to centre. AIMS To evaluate the incidence and spectrum of aetiological agents of bloodstream infections among solid organ transpla...
متن کاملExposure to cytomegalovirus from the donated organ is a risk factor for bacteremia in orthotopic liver transplant recipients. Boston Center for Liver Transplantation CMVIG Study Group.
To define predictors of bacteremia and to assess the potential role of exposure to cytomegalovirus (CMV) as a risk factor for bacteremia in liver transplant recipients, an intention-to-treat analysis of data for 146 orthotopic liver transplant recipients who participated in a multicenter, randomized, intervention trial was undertaken. Fifty-eight episodes of bacteremia occurred in 40 (27.4%) of...
