Abstract

Background: Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are among the most vulnerable patient populations to healthcare
associated infections (HAIs) due to lifelong immunosuppression, frequent healthcare exposure, and the complexity of care
delivered in transplant units. HAIs in SOT settings are associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, prolonged
hospitalization, graft loss, and increased healthcare costs.
