Analysis of Susceptibility to Selected Antibiotics in Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium Causing Urinary Tract Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients over 8 Years: Single-Center Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections among kidney transplant (KTX) recipients. The purpose of this study was to analyze antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in four most common pathogens responsible for UTIs in KTX recipients and determine risk factors (RF) for resistance in the same group. Methods: Analyzed antibiograms were based on urine samples positive for bacterial growth of 105 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL obtained from hospitalized adult KTX recipients presenting with UTI symptoms upon admission to the center in years 2011-2018. Results: In total, 783 antibiograms were analyzed for Klebsiellapneumoniae (258 samples, 33.0%), Escherichiacoli (212, 27.0%), Enterococcusfaecalis (128, 24.0%), and Enterococcusfaecium (125, 16.0%).
