Infection in Organ Transplantation (2017, background): “The cellular and immunological effects of CMV (“indirect effects”) may be as important in transplantation as invasive viral infections (8,52,53).”
Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control in Acute-Care Settings (2011, background): “These patients frequently become colonized with antimicrobial-resistant organisms that may take on the role of a pathogen after the patient becomes immunosuppressed (99).”
Clinical Practice Guidelines for Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Surgery (2013, positive): “In a more-recent observational four-year cohort study of 2641 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, the extended use of antimicrobial prophylaxis (>48 hours) instead of a shorter duration of prophylaxis (<48 hours) failed to reduce the risk of SSI (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.8–1.6”
