RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bacterial infections are common after liver transplantation (LT) and cause serious morbidity and mortality. In our center, prolonged selective digestive decontamination (SDD) is the standard of care, which may lead to a reduced number and severity of bacterial infections. The aim of the current study was to investigate bacterial infection rates, the causative pathogens, localization, and the possible influence of SDD within the first year after LT. METHODS: A retrospective single-center cohort study was performed. Patients within their first year after LT between 2012 and 2017 were included. Patients received SDD for 3 weeks immediately after LT. The type of infection, bacterial subtype, CSI classification, severity, and potential interventions were recorded. RESULTS: One hundred eighty-six patients were included in the study. Seventy-eight patients (41.9%) had a bacterial infection within the first year after LT. The most common types of infection were cholangitis (25.8%) and secondary infected abdominal fluid collections (25.3%). The most common bacteria were Gram-positive enterococcal- (36.5%) and Gram-negative enterobacterial species (34.2%). 35.5% of the infections occurred within the first month after LT, mainly caused by Gram-positive bacteria (76.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Cholangitis and infected abdominal fluid are the most common types of infection within one year after LT, mainly caused by enterococcal- and enterobacterial species. Within the first month after LT, infections were mostly caused by Gram-positive bacteria, which could be a consequence of protocol use of SDD. The results can be used for the choice of empirical antibiotic therapy based on the most common types of bacteria and the time frame after LT.
