Epidemiology of <i>Campylobacter</i> Species Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Multicentric Case-Control Study in France.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Campylobacteriosis in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is the most common identified bacterial cause of diarrhea. Risk factors in KTRs are unknown.

Methods

A 10-year multicentric, retrospective 1:1 case-control study was performed in France between 2010 and 2020. The main aim was to identify factors associated with Campylobacter-related infection in KTRs. The KTRs with a functional graft and campylobacteriosis (positive stool culture and/or blood culture and/or positive nucleic amplification test) and their controls matched on transplantation date within the same center were included.

Results

We identified 326 patients with campylobacteriosis. The estimated incidence rate of campylobacteriosis was 2.3/1000 patient-years. The infection occurred at
