*
Concurrent spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and pneumonia were found in one recipient.
†
Isolates of Gram-positive bacillus and Gram-negative bacillus were identified as co-pathogens in one episode of urinary tract infection.
‡
Isolates of Pseudomonas species and Candida species were identified as co-pathogens in one episode of urinary tract infection.
§
Including septic arthritis caused by Pseudomonas stutzeri, and acute cholecystitis each one episode.
