Abstract: Objective: To assess the presence of microorganism contamination in the preservation solution for transplant organs (kidney/pancreas). Method: Between August 2007 and March 2008, 136 samples of preservation solution were studied prior to graft implantation. Variables related to the donor and to the presence of microorganisms in the preservation solution of organs were evaluated, after which the contamination was evaluated in relation to the "recipient culture" variable. Univariate and multivariate statistical … Show more

“…Previous studies have reported a wide variability in the incidence of preservation fluid contamination [ 7 , 12 14 ], which may be due to the fact that some reports define contamination as the positive growth of any microorganism, while others require the isolation of known human pathogens [ 20 , 21 ]. In addition, the time of collection of samples during the process of liver transplantation, and the sensitivity of culture methods, differ among the published studies [ 6 , 22 ].…”

“…The transmission of microorganisms through preservation fluid (PF) is a potential method for early DDI in KT recipients after KT, and routine microbial analysis of PF can help identify patients with a high risk of early post-transplantation infection [ 19 ]. Most studies have shown that coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Enterococci are the most common contaminants in PF, most of which are low-virulence bacteria [ 20 22 ]. To date, the impact of CRKP contamination in PF on kidney recipients is not clear, and the best strategies for preventing and treating subsequent infections in kidney recipients remain unclear.…”
