A. Nasim, S. Baqi, S.F. Akhtar. Pseudomonas aeruginosa endocarditis in renal transplant recipients. Transpl Infect Dis 2012: 14: 180–183. All rights reserved Abstract: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious and life‐threatening disease. Transplant recipients are at increased risk of acquiring serious infections. The most common organisms causing IE in solid organ transplant recipients are reported to be gram positive. IE due to Gram‐negative organism has rarely been reported. We report 2 cases of renal transplant recipients who met the Duke's criteria for IE due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa .
