Table 3 Characteristics of donors and their corresponding liver recipients with donor-derived infections

Donor	Diagnosis	Blood culture result	Recipient (sex/age)	Underlying liver disease(s)	Culture result (specimen)/time to infection onset	Inappropriate antimicrobial/immunosuppressive therapy	Outcome
D1	Head trauma	Negative1	R12 (Female/48 yr)	Polycystic liver disease	K. pneumoniae (Blood and abdominal drainage fluid)/1 d	No/Pred	Patient death and graft loss
D2	Head trauma	Negative1	R23 (Male/38 yr)	Hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis due to hepatitis B virus infection	K. pneumoniae (Blood and abdominal drainage fluid)/1 d	No/FK506 + Pred	Patient and graft survival
D3	Head trauma	Not available	R33 (Male/69 yr)	Heredofamilial amyloidosis	E. aerogenes (Blood)/3 d	No/FK506 + Pred	Patient and graft survival

¹Donors had a negative result of blood culture after being admitted to the intensive care unit, whereas they did not undergo blood culture within 10 d prior to organ procurement;

²Two kidney recipients of graft from the common donor, with this liver recipient having developed organ-space surgical site infection owing to Klebsiella pneumoniae within 20 d following the transplantation;

³One kidney recipient of graft from the common donor, with this liver recipient having also developed bloodstream infection owing to the same bacterium immediately after the transplantation.
