Effect of time after transplantation on microbiology of urinary tract infections among renal transplant recipients.
We evaluated the microbiology of renal transplant recipients hospitalized with urinary tract infections over a 10-year period. While gram-negative organisms were seen most frequently (73%), the median time to infection post transplantation was shorter in patients infected with gram-positive organisms (9.0 vs. 44.7 months).
