Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcome of Bloodstream Infections in Patients After Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation: A Single Center Study

This study confirms that the fecal colonization with MDR bacteria before transplantation and pre-transplant BSIs are independent risk factors for the occurrence of BSI in the early period after HSCT. Pre- and posttransplant monitoring of the patient fecal coloniza tion status with MDR organisms, could contribute considerably to the prevention and successful management of the infectious complications in patients after HSCT.
