RESUMEN
En pacientes para trasplante hepático (TH), son prioritarias las medidas de estudio y prevención de infecciones principalmente bacterianas, no existiendo evidencia que apoye la descontaminación intestinal selectiva, la que incluso puede contribuir a la selección de bacterias resistentes. Se requiere mayores estudios aleatorizados que respalden intervenciones preventivas con este fin, en especial el uso de pre y probióticos que pudieran tener un rol beneficioso en estos pacientes.

There is no evidence supporting supports selective intestinal decontamination, which can evencontribute to the selection of resistant bacteria. Further randomized clinical trials are needed to support the use of prebiotics and probiotics that could benefi t these patients.
