RATIONALE: Respiratory culture screening is mandatory for all potential lung transplant donors. There is limited evidence on the significance of donor multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria on transplant outcomes. Establishing the safety of allografts colonized with MDR bacteria has implications for widening an already limited donor pool.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to describe the prevalence of respiratory MDR bacteria among our donor population and to test for associations with posttransplant outcomes.

METHODS: This retrospective observational study included all adult patients who underwent lung-only transplantation for the first time at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Riyadh from January 2015 through May 2022. The study evaluated donor bronchoalveolar lavage and bronchial swab cultures.

MAIN RESULTS: Sixty-seven of 181 donors (37%) had respiratory MDR bacteria, most commonly MDR Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 24), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (n = 18), MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 8), MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 7), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (n = 6). Donor respiratory MDR bacteria were not significantly associated with allograft survival or chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) in adjusted hazard models. Sensitivity analyses revealed an increased risk for 90-day mortality among recipients of allografts with MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 6 with strains resistant to a carbapenem and n = 2 resistant to a third-generation cephalosporin only) compared to those receiving culture-negative allografts (25.0% versus 11.1%, p = 0.04). MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae (aHR 3.31, 95%CI 0.95-11.56) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (aHR 5.35, 95%CI 1.26-22.77) were associated with an increased risk for CLAD compared to negative cultures.

CONCLUSION: Our data suggest the potential safety of using lung allografts with MDR bacteria in the setting of appropriate prophylaxis; however, caution should be exercised in the case of MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae.
