Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is characterized by an important intrinsic resistance to antibiotics and it possess an extraordinary ability to develop resistance to nearly all available antimicrobials through selection of mutations. We review some of the pharmacodynamic principles of antibiotics predicting efficacy, clinical experience with monotherapy and combination therapy, and principles for antibiotic treatment for empirical and directed treatment of P. aeruginosa invasive infections.

Abstract

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a common cause of nosocomial infection associated with significant morbidity and mortality. New clinical practice guidelines for the management of adults with hospital-acquired pneumonia have been published in 2016 by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS). This review focuses on the recent recommendations and their limitations. We also focus on new therapeutic options that might improve the treatment and outcomes of these patients.
