Nosocomial transmission of multiresistant bacteria is a growing healthcare issue. In addition,
new pathogens and pathogenic mechanisms, associated with therapies based on the use of live
microorganisms, can be of importance in the near future. The current issue of CKJ illustrates
healthcare-associated infections that go beyond common bacteria. First, the therapeutic use of
live BCG mycobacteria is not without risks in the chronic kidney disease patients. Familiarity with
these complications will allow their rapid recognition and optimized management. Second, strict
adherence to universal precautions and healthcare guidelines is still mandatory in order to avoid
undesirable risks such as transmission of hepatitis B virus.
