摘要
Objectives: Infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality in the early postoperative period after liver transplant. We observed a high rate of enterococcal infections at our center. Therefore, we added an intraoperative single shot of vancomycin to the standard regimen of meropenem given over 5 days. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of both Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis infections during the first 28 days after surgery depending on the type of antibiotic prophylaxis and their implications on mortality and morbidity. Materials and Methods: Our retrospective cohort analysis included 179 patients: 93 patients received meropenem only and 86 patients were treated with meropenem plus vancomycin. Results: During the first 28 days after transplant, microbiological tests showed that 51 patients (28.5%) were positive for Enterococcus faecium and 25 patients (14.0%) were positive for Enterococcus faecalis. Enterococcus faecium infections appeared significantly more often in patients without vancomycin (P = .013). In the second week after transplant, there was a significant reduction in Enterococcus faecium infections in the meropenem plus vancomycin group (P = .015). Enterococcus faecalis infections occurred more often in the patients receiving meropenem alone, but results were not statistically significant (P = .194). There was a trend toward more frequent renal replacement therapy in the meropenem plus vancomycin group. We found no differences between the groups regarding survival after 1 and 2 years, length of hospital stay, or duration in the intensive care unit. Overall 1-year survival was 78.8% (141/179 patients). Conclusions: Although postoperative Enterococcus species infections can be reduced after liver transplant by adding vancomycin to the intraoperative antibiotic regimen, it does not improve the long-term outcomes.
