New Approaches to Manage Infections in Transplant Recipients: Report From the 2023 GTI (Infection and Transplantation Group) Annual Meeting
Résumé
This year’s GTI (“Groupe Transplantation and Infection”) annual meeting was held in Paris, France in February 2023. This meeting focused on new approaches to manage infectious complications in solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients. In this meeting report, we summarize the presentations and discussions from this annual meeting. Covered topics included new anti-infective agents and non-antibiotic approaches to manage infections due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, staphylococci, and fungal infections, as well as new approaches to manage symptomatic urinary tract infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria in kidney transplant recipients. Innovative approaches are needed to manage infectious complications in transplant recipients, who are at high risk of difficult-to-treat infections and side effects associated with the use of anti-infective agents.
