Incidence Rate of Post-Kidney Transplant Infection: A Retrospective Cohort Study Examining Infection Rates at a Large Canadian Multicenter Tertiary-Care Facility.

18 MDR organisms as a cause of bacterial infection were not common in our patient population as compared with other reported studies which showed an increasing trend of MDR organisms in kidney transplant recipients. 21 , 22 Our findings are likely due to the overall lower prevalence of MDR organisms in Canada as compared with other geographic regions, and it is likely a matter of time until we see an increase in MDR organisms in our kidney transplant population. 23 The second and third most common sites of infection found within our patient cohort were skin and soft tissue and lung, respectively.
