Community-acquired pneumonia in Europe: causative pathogens and resistance patterns.
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common condition affecting about 1/1,000 of the adult population per year. It occurs when bacteria enter the alveolar spaces of the lung initiating an inflammatory response which leads to the clinical features of cough, sputum production, breathlessness and sometimes chest pain and haemoptysis.

متن کاملCommunity acquired pneumonia in diabetic and non-diabetic hospitalized patients: presentation, causative pathogens and outcome.
Both community acquired pneumonia (CAP) and diabetes mellitus are common in Bangladesh. Though hospitalization of diabetic patients with CAP is increasing, data regarding their clinical presentation, microbial characteristics, antimicrobial susceptibility and outcome are lacking.

متن کاملAntibiotic resistance of pathogens causing community-acquired pneumonia.
Community-acquired pneumonia remains an important cause of disease and death in both developed and developing countries and therefore continues to have a major medical impact. The mortality remains high despite the ready availability of potent antimicrobial agents to which the organisms are susceptible. However, management of these infections is potentially complicated by the emerging resistanc...
متن کاملBacterial Pathogens Associated with Community acquired Pneumonia.
2. The use of oropharyngeal aspirate as the sample for isolation of bacterial pathogens associated with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) raises many questions. This is again highlighted by the isolation of organism like Acinetobacter and Citrobacter species from CAP cases. The value of isolating bacterial organisms that are frequently detected in the upper airways of children (eg, Streptococc...
متن کاملCommunity-Acquired Pneumonia Drug Resistance Patterns Prove Puzzling
A ntibiotic resistance skyrocketed during the 1990s. In general, treatment failures and mortality rose in tandem with resistance. But not so in the case of macrolide resistance among isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae and other bacterial agents that cause community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). This phenomenon can be called the in vitro-in vivo paradox, according to William Bishai of the Johns Ho...
