Urinary tract infections (UTIs) with extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL)-positive Enterobacteriums (ESBL-E) are a common infectious complication of renal transplant recipients, with 10% of patients suffering from UTIs with ESBL-E within the first year posttransplant. Moreover, recurrence rates of UTI caused by ESBL-E are almost three times higher than those by cephalosporin-susceptible Enterobacteriums demonstrating the decreased efficacy of antibiotics in the treatment of these UTIs.
According to each patient's urine culture, resistant urinary tract infections will be treated with specific phages and patients will be followed up with their urine cultures for response to therapy.
