Abstract | BACKGROUND: Infections due to extensively drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) after solid organ transplantation are increasing in prevalence and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Surveillance culture (SC) seems to be an important tool for extensively drug resistant GNB control. The aim of this study was to evaluate colonization rates and subsequent infections by XDR-GNB in liver transplant recipients. |
