We evaluated the microbiology of renal transplant recipients hospitalized with urinary tract infections over a 10‐year period. While gram‐negative organisms were seen most frequently (73%), the median time to infection post transplantation was shorter in patients infected with gram‐positive organisms (9.0 vs. 44.7 months).
