Core Tip Klebsiella pneumoniae infections are a major challenge in liver transplantation recipients, particularly due to carbapenem-resistant strains. Effective management requires addressing key risk factors, including pre-transplant colonization and immune dysregulation. Advanced diagnostics like genomic profiling and resistome analysis can enhance understanding of resistance and virulence mechanisms. Optimizing treatment regimens, such as polymyxin B and ceftazidime/avibactam, and developing novel therapeutics targeting specific resistance mechanisms are critical. Routine surveillance and international collaboration can further improve infection control strategies, ensuring better outcomes for this vulnerable population. Integrating microbiology, immunology, and pharmacology advances is essential for transforming liver transplantation infection care.
