Y. Solak, H. Atalay, K. Turkmen, Z. Biyik, N. Genc, M. Yeksan. Community‐acquired carbapenem‐resistant Acinetobacter baumannii urinary tract infection just after marriage in a renal transplant recipient.
Transpl Infect Dis 2011: 13: 638–640. All rights reservedAbstract: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in renal transplant recipients and may worsen allograft and patient survival. Many risk factors such as age, female gender, immunosuppression, comorbidity, deceased‐donor kidney transplantation, and uretheral catheterization are involved in development of UTI. Acinetobacter baumannii has rarely been reported as a causative agent for development of UTI. Here, we present an unusual case of a renal transplant recipient who developed community‐acquired carbapenem‐resistent A. baumannii UTI.
