Liver transplantation is currently the only effective curative treatment for end-stage liver disease. In recent years, with advancements in liver transplantation surgery and anti-rejection drugs, the incidence of surgical complications and organ rejection has gradually decreased. Conversely, transplant-related infections have increasingly become a major factor affecting the prognosis of transplant recipients. Furthermore, due to the progress in critical life support technologies, the time spent in the donor’s intensive care unit (ICU) has been extended, and post-transplant infections originating from the donor, especially donor-derived infection (DDI), have become one of the primary sources of infection for recipients. Studies have shown that infections in liver transplant recipients are often caused by Gram-negative pathogens, particularly carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), which has now become the leading cause of fatal infections in liver transplant recipients. To reduce the risk of donor-derived infections, it is necessary to strengthen donor screening and evaluation, establish standardized testing processes, and adjust the use strategies of post-transplant anti-infective drugs and immunosuppressants. Monitoring the immune status of recipients is also crucial. Multidisciplinary collaboration and the application of new technologies will be key in future infection prevention and control. To promote the prevention and treatment of CRKP-related donor infections, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, in collaboration with international experiences, has organized relevant experts to develop an expert consensus on the prevention and treatment of CRKP-targeted DDI.
