Core Tip	We evaluated 45 patients with hepatitis C virus-related end-stage liver disease for the occurrence of bacterial infections during the first 3 mo post-living-donor liver transplantation. Thirty-three patients (73.3%) suffered from bacterial infections; 21 of them had a single infection episode, and 12 had repeated infection episodes. Bile was the most common site for both single and repeated episodes of infection (28.6% and 27.8%, respectively). Multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacteria, especially Klebsiella, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas, were the most commonly isolated bacteria. Pre-transplant hepatocellular carcinoma and duration of drain insertion were independent risk factors for occurrence of repeated infection episodes.
