Liver transplantation is a most curative treatment for end-stage liver diseases. However, postoperative infection, especially the multi-drug resistant organisms infection, could contribute to the mortality after liver transplantation. Therefore, how to identify and prevent multi-drug resistant bacterial infection is the key to achieve improved postoperative outcomes after liver transplantation. The team of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, in collaboration with multiple Chinese medical centers, draw on the mature experiences of advanced countries in the field of transplantation jointly formulated the “Multicenter expert consensus on prevention and treatment of infections caused by multi-drug resistant organisms after liver transplantation”. The consensus had been developed around aspects such as epidemiological characteristics, antimicrobial uses, and prevention measurements of multi-drug resistant bacterial infection after liver transplantation.
