Viral Genomic Characterization and Replication Pattern of Human Polyomaviruses in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Viruses, 2020
Human Polyomavirus (HPyV) infections are common, ranging from 60% to 100%. In kidney transplant (KTx) recipients, HPyVs have been associated with allograft nephropathy, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, and skin cancer.

Longitudinal alterations in the urinary virome of kidney transplant recipients are influenced by BK viremia and patient sex

Microbiology Spectrum
Little is known about the urinary virome and how it interacts with the host, particularly in renal transplant diseases. Using metagenomic sequencing, we characterized the urinary virome of 23 kidney transplant recipients longitudinally (11 BKV+ patients ...
