Abstract: | Renal allograft recipients were studied prospectively utilizing improved culture techniques to investigate anaerobic bacteriuria. The study population was compared with a population of patients with chronic renal insufficiency and end stage renal disease. The over-all incidence of anaerobic urinary tract infection was 7.5 per cent while the over-all incidence of aerobic urinary tract infection was 23.5 per cent. Patients with cadaver renal transplants during the early postoperative period had the highest incidence of both anaerobic (42.9 per cent) and aerobic (71.4 per cent) urinary tract infection of all groups. The potential association between significant anaerobic bacteriuria during the first postoperative month and poor prognosis for cadaver renal allografts merits further investigation. |
