Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in renal transplantation: a single-center comparison between two regimens and a brief survey among the Eurotransplant renal transplantation centers

Background Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) is an integral part of kidney transplantation to prevent surgical site infections (SSI). In July 2015, we changed our standard from a multiple-dose to a single-dose (SD) prophylaxis. Here, we report on results with both regimens and a related survey among Eurotransplant renal transplantation centers.
