Title
Genetic and Epidemiologic Analyses of an Outbreak of Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Among Kidney Transplant Recipients in the United States
Abstract
In a Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) outbreak among 19 kidney-transplant recipients in the United States, strain genotyping suggested coinfection and interhuman transmission of multiple P. jiroveci strains. Belatacept was a risk factor for PCP, potentially via increased clinic exposure.
