Risk Factors and Impact of Perioperative Prophylaxis on the Risk of Extended-spectrum β-Lactamase–producing Enterobacteriaceae–related Infection Among Carriers Following Liver Transplantation

Abstract

Thirty-nine percentage of ESBL-E carriers develop a related infection after LT. We identified predictors for ESBL-E infection in carriers that may help in rationalizing carbapenem prescription. Perioperative AP targeting colonizing ESBL-E may be associated with a reduced risk of post-LT ESBL-E infections.
