Demonstration of imputability or root cause: 
“Contaminated kidney” with mycotic aneurism culture positive for Escherichia coli/Klebsiella pneumoniae; Donor: positive urine culture; recipient with positive urine culture for same organism (Escherichia coli); Donor with positive saline slush culture for same organism as the recipient's blood cultures (Escherichia coli).
