Donor-derived vancomycin-resistant enterococci transmission and bloodstream infection after intestinal transplantation

Abstract Background Transplant recipients are at high risk for infections. However, donor-recipient transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) remains mostly unaddressed in the protocols of pre-transplant infection and colonization screening. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are MDR...
