FOOTNOTES

  1. The 2014 Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN) surgical prophylaxis guidelines specifically exclude transplant surgery (2). There are no British Transplant Society or CDC guidelines for this area. The choice of agents was initially discussed by the Renal Transplant Service Team and Microbiology in 2009 and last reviewed in 2017.
  2. For all patients, results from any recent urine isolates should be used to inform the choice of prophylaxis (i.e. Co-Amoxiclav Description: electronic Medicines Compendium information on Co-Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin-Clavulanate) would not be the most appropriate agent where a patient had a recent urinary ESBL E. coli isolated - prophylaxis should be discussed with the Microbiology service).
  3. MRSA risk = previous MRSA infection or known colonisation
