Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI) are common in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) and are associated with multidrug resistance and increased morbidity/mortality. Novel antibiotic alternatives to reduce UTI recurrence are critically needed. We describe a case of rUTI due to extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) Klebsiella pneumoniae in a KTR that was treated successfully with 4 weeks of adjunctive intravenous bacteriophage therapy alone, without concomitant antibiotics, and with no recurrence in a year of follow-up.
复发性尿路感染(rUTI)在肾移植受者(KTR)中很常见,与多药耐药和增加的发病率/死亡率有关。迫切需要新型抗生素替代物来减少 UTI 复发。我们描述了一例 KTR 中由产超广谱β内酰胺酶(ESBL)肺炎克雷伯菌引起的 rUTI,该患者单独接受了 4 周的辅助静脉噬菌体治疗,无需同时使用抗生素,并且在 1 年的随访中没有复发。
