摘要

Purpose of Review

There is ongoing interest in shortening durations of antibiotic treatment for bacteremia in solid organ transplant (SOT) patients.

Recent Findings

The majority of literature excludes SOT recipients or only includes a limited number of “immunocompromised” individuals, of which the immunosuppression is usually not well defined.

Summary

The data for shorter durations of treatment is growing within the general population, but data related to transplant recipients remains limited. This review evaluates the literature on bacteremia treatment duration for solid organ transplant patients, with a focus on type of organism (gram positive or gram negative), source of infection, and the role of the Infectious Disease clinician.
