Background. Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Herein, we describe the incidence, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of SAB after solid organ transplantation (SOT) and compare these features with non-SOT controls.Methods. In a single-center retrospective study, blood cultures positive for S. aureus were obtained from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2008. Chart review was performed on all SOT recipients with SAB. The social security death index was used to determine all-cause mortality.Results. Seventy of 2959 patients with SAB were SOT recipients (26 lung, 19 liver, 18 kidney, and seven heart). The overall attack rate of SAB in SOT was 22.9/1000 transplant patients. Early-onset SAB (
