: Solid organ transplantation is the best therapeutic option for patients with end-stage organ disease and, according to the data from international registries, there has been a steady increase in numbers and results. However, post-transplant infections remain a fearsome complication with, in the last decade, an increasing incidence of episodes due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria and opportunistic agents. In this paper, we summarize the most relevant and updated knowledge concerning infections from multidrug-resistant germs in solid organ transplant recipients, focusing on risk factors, treatment and prevention strategies, and antimicrobial pharmacokinetics relevant to this particular population of patients.
