Epidemiology of Campylobacter Species Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Multicentric Case-Control Study in France.

Campylobacteriosis has a higher incidence in the 2 first years of transplantation. The factors independently associated with campylobacteriosis are corticosteroids as maintenance immunosuppressive regimen, low lymphocyte counts, low eGFR, and a history of acute rejection. Due to high antimicrobial resistance with fluoroquinolone, the first line of treatment should be azithromycin.
