Article Synopsis
- Bloodstream infections (BSIs) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients show high levels of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), significantly impacting morbidity and mortality rates.
- A systematic review analyzed 52 studies, revealing that resistance percentages for MDROs like carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and MRSA varied geographically, with the highest rates found in Asia and North America.
- The crude mortality associated with MDRO BSIs ranged from 15.4% to 82.4%, indicating a critical need for more comprehensive research in this vulnerable patient population.
