摘要：
Infection of the urinary tract is the most common infectious complication of renal transplantation. The microbiology of post-transplant urinary tract infections is similar to what is seen in the general population, although transplant patients may develop infections due to unusual or opportunistic pathogens. The optimal management of urinary tract infections in renal transplant recipients is poorly studied, but recommendations for treatment are available. Antibiotic prophylaxis can reduce the risk of bacterial infection of the urinary tract post-transplant but is not used in all transplant centers. The influence of urinary tract infection on graft survival requires further study.
