Stack Carolyn D. Alonso Barbra M. Blair Clinical Transplantation AbstractBloodstream infections (BSIs) account for 18% of bacterial infections in the first year after solid organ transplantation (SOT). Enterococcus accounts for up to 20% of BSIs in this population, with vancomycin‐resistant enterococcus (VRE) posing a particular risk. This is a retrospective, case‐control study of adult liver and kidney transplant recipients between 01/01/2016 and 06/30/2021 that characterizes the epidemiology and outcomes of enterococcal BSIs in liver and kidney transplantations at a single institution. Subjects with an enterococcal BSI within the first 6 months post‐transplant were compared to those with non‐enterococcal BSIs in the same period. We identified 26 subjects with enterococcal BSIs and 28 controls with non‐enterococcal BSIs (n = 54; 10.3%). Cases were mostly liver transplant recipients (n = 20; 77%) with a median MELD at transplant of 33 (range 14–43); controls included 14 KT recipients (50%). Groups differed significantly (all p < .05) by factors including perioperative transfusion requirements, need for reoperation, and number of interventions post‐transplant. Cases had a median time of 25.5 days to infection and controls 100.5 days (p < .0001). There were no differences in 1‐year mortality between the groups. Enterococcus faecium was the predominant species of Enterococcus (n = 23; 88.5%), with a majority (91.3%) of the isolates being VRE. In our liver and kidney transplants, enterococcal BSIs occurred early among liver transplant recipients. The high incidence of VRE among E. faecium isolates in this population warrants further investigation into the optimal approach to empiric antimicrobials for bacteremia in the early post‐transplant period. 10.1111/ctr.15285 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
