Abstract

Outbreak Pneumocystis Transplant recipients genotypes Disease Outbreaks France / epidemiology Genotype Humans Organ Transplantation* / adverse effects Pneumocystis carinii* / genetics Pneumonia, Pneumocystis* / epidemiology Retrospective Studies Surveys and Questionnaires
The burden of nosocomial Pneumocystis infections in transplantation units in France was evaluated through a retrospective survey. Over 12 years, 16 outbreaks occurred, including 13 among renal transplant recipients (RTRs). We performed Pneumocystis jirovecii genotyping in 5 outbreaks, which suggested that specific strains may have been selected by RTRs.
