Multi-drug resistant strains as etiological agents of urinary tract infections in patients after solid organ transplantation.

Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by multi-drug resistant strains are a serious and growing problem in organ transplant (TX) recipients.

Aim Of The Study: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of UTIs caused by multi-drug resistant strains in hospitalized patients after kidney or liver transplantation in a large transplant center.

Material And Methods: 392 cases of UTIs in patients after kidney or liver TX hospitalized in 2014, 2015 and 2016 were analyzed.

Breaking Antimicrobial Resistance: High-Dose Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid for Urinary Tract Infections Due to Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.

BACKGROUND Carbapenems are the primary treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, the recurrence rate is high, and patients often require rehospitalization. We present the results of an observational study on patients with recurrent UTIs who were treated in an outpatient setting with maximal therapeutic oral doses of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid.
