Abstract

Introduction: Infections are very common in cirrhosis and they are associated with an increased risk of liver failure and liver-related complications (LRC), especially, in patients waiting for liver transplantation (LT). It is known that pre-LT colonization with Methicillin-Resistant-Staphylococcus-Aureus (MRSA) or Extended-Spectrum-Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) bacteria is an independent risk factor for infections after LT. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of MRSA and ESBLE colonization at 6 and 12months on LRC and infections on waitlist and after LT.
