Title
Multidrug-Resistant Organisms: Pre-transplant Evaluation and Management
Abstract
Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) cause morbidity and mortality after organ transplantation. Infection from these organisms may arise from pre-transplant colonization/infectious events, and these organisms may be donor-derived. Here we review the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, disease diagnostics, and therapeutic modalities for six common MDRO bacterial pathogens in the context of solid organ and bone marrow transplantation.
