AI Article Synopsis
- * Advances in molecular sequencing have led to the identification of more bacterial species in these cases; a review focused on certain bacteria while excluding specific genera.
- * The study highlights challenges in dealing with these bacteria, such as how to detect and identify them, issues of antimicrobial resistance, their role in causing disease, and the potential for spreading between patients.
Article Abstract
The respiratory tract of lung transplant recipients (LTR) is likely to be colonized with non-fermentative Gram-negative rods. As a consequence of the improvements in molecular sequencing and taxonomy, an increasing number of bacterial species have been described. We performed a review of the literature of bacterial infections in LTR involving non-fermentative Gram-negative rods with exclusion of , , spp. and spp. Overall, non-fermenting GNR were recovered from 17 LTR involving the following genera: , , , , , and . We then discuss the issues raised by these bacteria, including detection and identification, antimicrobial resistance, pathogenesis, and cross-transmission.
