Comparison of Risk Factors and Outcomes of Daptomycin ‐Susceptible and ‐Nonsusceptible Vancomycin‐Resistant Enterococcus faecium Infections in Liver Transplant Recipients

ConclusionsLTRs who develop DNS‐VRE infection have higher bleeding complications and longer, more complex hospitalizations compared to those who develop DS‐VRE infection post‐transplantation; however mortality at 30 days and 6 months is not significantly worse. Further study is needed to determine optimal strategies for the prevention and treatment of DNS‐VRE infections in LTRs.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
