Aspiration Risk Factors, Microbiology, and Empiric Antibiotics for Patients Hospitalized With Community-Acquired Pneumonia

Judith Marin-Corral et al.

Summary: This study analyzed aspiration risk factors, microbiology patterns, and empiric anti-anaerobic use in patients hospitalized with CAP. Results showed that patients with ACAP or CAP/AspRF+ had similar anaerobic flora compared with those without aspiration risk factors, and Gram-negative bacteria were more prevalent in severe ACAP patients. Despite similar microbiological flora between groups, a large proportion of CAP patients received anti-anaerobic antibiotic coverage.
