Research Article: Optimal Perioperative Antimicrobial Management Strategies of Kidney Transplant Recipients Guided by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing of Deceased Donors’ Microbiology Samples

Date Published: 2023-09-29

Abstract:
Kidney transplantation is the most effective treatment for individuals with end-stage renal disease. Deceased donors in China have increased rapidly since January because civilian organ donation has been the sole source of organ transplant. Marginal donors have increasingly been accepted for transplantation due to the significant disparity between the supply and demand of organs. However, most donors experience multiple invasive procedures, use of high-intensity antibiotics and long stays in the intensive care unit (ICU) that increase the risk of donor-derived infections (DDI), including multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections., Additionally, the use of high-dose immunosuppressive agents increase the risk of infections for kidney transplant recipients in the early post-transplant period., Donors with bacteremia or organ infection are often considered contraindications for transplantation in most transplant centers. However, some of the infections can be controlled, which requires us to quickly identify pathogens and actively treat them, thereby we can expand the donor pool.
