Antibiotic therapy in case of positive cultures of kidney transplant preservation fluid: a nationwide survey of prescribing practices

Résumé

Our survey aimed to describe current prescribing practices for perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in French kidney transplant centers. We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional clinical vignette-based survey that we sent via email to hospital practitioners involved in perioperative management of kidney transplant patients (KTR). Nearly half of practitioners contacted (182/427, 42.6%) were respondents. A total of 167 getting enough kidney transplant activity were eligible for the survey. The response rate was 50.7% (68/134) among interns and 33.8% (99/293) among seniors. Positive perfusion fluids (PF) cultures for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus were associated with antibiotic prescribing in 35% of cases, with no difference in prescribing in patients with diabetes, obesity, or delayed graft function. Antibiotic prescribing was most frequent with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (67%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains producing extended spectrum β-lactamases (57%). About 77%, 16%, and 13% of respondents, respectively, reported the existence of local practice guidelines for surgical antibiotic prophylaxis, a standardized approach for antibiotic prescribing in case of positive kidney transplant PF cultures, and local practice guidelines for systematical antibiotic prophylaxis in the early post-transplant period. In France, antibiotic prophylaxis practices in the perioperative kidney transplant period are very heterogeneous. To prevent unnecessary prescribing and bacterial resistance, evidence-based practice guidelines should be developed.
