Title
Molecular Epidemiology, Natural History, and Long-Term Outcomes of Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacterales Colonization and Infections Among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Abstract
Twenty-five percent of transplant recipients were gastrointestinally colonized by multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales, which predisposed to invasive infections. Infections were associated with low short-term and long-term mortality, but recurrences were common for years. Whole-genome phylogenetic analyses linked infections to colonizing strains.
