Core Tip Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are now a leading threat to survival and long-term graft function after kidney transplantation. This mini-review synthesizes current data on multidrug-resistant epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes in kidney transplant recipients, and highlights emerging tools such as rapid molecular diagnostics, novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations, siderophore cephalosporins, and individualized perioperative antibiotic strategies. A kidney transplant-specific antimicrobial stewardship framework is proposed to balance timely, effective therapy with preservation of allograft function and containment of resistance.
