Bacterial Multiresistant Diagnosed in Urine Cultures of Transplanted Patients: Case Report

Josefa Elaine Silva Germinio, Mayara Priscyla Firmino Ferreira and Sibele Ribeiro de Oliveira

The Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are among the most frequent pathologies exposed in clinical appointment by patients undergoing kidney transplantation. The diagnosis and characterization of UTIs are important to elucidate the main microorganism involved and draft the profile of antibiotics that can be used to treat these infections. The case 1 introduces a female, 76-years-old patient, kidney transplanted, diagnosed with a variety of microorganisms resistant to multiple antibiotics over the years, and who died before the end of the treatment. The case 2 introduces a man, 65-years-old patient, kidney transplanted, who also presented a persistent urinary infection and a high colonies counting in his urine cultures, as well as multi-resistance to antibiotics tested. Given the above, it emphasizes the importance of monitoring and controlling urinary infections that affect the post kidney transplant patient, in an attempt to avoid possible complications to the transplanted organ.
