“…2,7,[11][12][13][14][16][17]19 We also observed that Escherichia coli (22.7%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (9.2%) were the most common microbial agents. We found a rate of 5.8% for Acinetobacter baumannii, which reportedly shows antibiotic resistance and causes hospital infection outbreaks.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to compare renal transplant recipients with and without infection with respect to demographic and clinical characteristics as well as risk factors; to determine the incidence of posttransplant infections; and to study the antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial species identified as the causative organisms in posttransplant infections. Materials and Methods: This study included a total of 136 patients undergoing renal transplant in a 4-year period. The patients were categorized into 2 groups. The 2 groups were compared with each other with respect to general clinical and demographic variables and the number and frequency of infectious attacks within a 1-year follow-up, infection type, and antibiotic resistance patterns. Results: Ninety-two (67.6%) of the subjects were male and 44 (32.4%) were female. A total of 57 (41.9%) patients developed 128 infectious attacks. Urinary tract infections were the most common infections (42.1%). There was a significant correlation between a clinically relevant urinary culture proliferation and postoperative infection rate (P = .002). There was a significant correlation between antimicrobial resistance and the number of infectious attacks (P = .023). There was a significant correlation between the proliferation of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase-positive Enterobactericeae species and the number of infectious attacks (P = .000). Conclusions: Presence of a clinically relevant proliferation in the preoperative urinary culture, which was identified as a risk factor for infection, increased the number of infectious attacks. Moreover, Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamasepositive Enterobactericeae species increased the number of infections. These 2 principle results should be taken into account in patient management.

“…In a prospective study of 133 patients transplanted at a single center and followed for one year, 88 infections occurred in 60 patients, and UTIs were responsible for 46 of these cases (53%) (2) . Another prospective study of 159 patients followed for two years after transplant showed a rate of 1.1 episodes of infection per patient, and UTIs were responsible for 46.6% of these episodes (3) .…”

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most important infections in renal transplant recipients. Kidney transplant is the last hope for the patients with end stage renal diseases. Cytomegalovirus infection can threaten patients and graft survival after transplantation. Four hundred and thirty-four renal transplant recipients contributed to this study. PCR and RFLP analyses were performed in order to determine CMV viremia and its genotypes. CMV viremia was detected in 68 (15.9%) recipients. The mean post-transplantation time in our recipients was 50 months, ranging from 1 to 354 months. Viremia was detected in 31.2%, 30.7%, 17.5%, 10.2%, and 6.4% of the recipients in 0-3, 4-6, 7-12, 13-24, and more than 24 months post-transplantation, respectively. The distribution of gB1, gB2, gB3, and gB4 genotypes was detected as 26.5%, 20.5%, 17.6%, and 5.9%, respectively. Mixed genotype infection was observed in 29.4% of the recipients. Incidence of viremia was higher in the first 6 months after the transplantation compared with the later stages. Moreover, CMV gB1 and mixed genotype infection were more common in our recipients. J.
