Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) pose a particular threat to solid organ transplant recipients. Infections due to these pathogens are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and current therapeutic options are limited.

After participating in this webinar, the learner will be able to:

Describe the epidemiology and outcomes of select MDRO infections in solid organ transplant recipients.
Describe an approach to the use of organs from donors colonized or infected with CRE.
Discuss the role of infection control and antimicrobial stewardship in curtailing the spread of MDROs in solid organ transplant recipients.
