Comparison of risk factors and outcomes of daptomycin-susceptible and -nonsusceptible vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium infections in liver transplant recipients.

Published in: Transplant infectious disease : an official journal of the Transplantation Society (2018)

Liver transplant recipients who develop DNS-VRE infection have higher bleeding complications and longer, more complex hospitalizations compared to those who develop DS-VRE infection post transplantation; however, mortality at 30 days and 6 months is not significantly worse. Further study is needed to determine optimal strategies for the prevention and treatment of DNS-VRE infections in LTRs.
