Hello, Such resistant bacteria in a transplant patient is not a good sign. Is he having any difficulty in passing urine or his urine is getting blocked? He will require further evaluation, such as ultrasound of transplant kidney, urodlowmetry and if required few other test may require reduction in his immunosuppressive drugs also.
