ID: s04e6po9_1
Snippet: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common infectious disease with an estimated incidence of 2-11 cases per 1000 adults in the developed world and a mortality rate of 2%-14% [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] . Due to the range of pathogens responsible for CAP, in moderate or severe infection, broad-spectrum antimicrobial cover should be initiated before de-escalating to narrowspectrum pathogen-directed agents once a microbiological diagnosis has been made .....
Document: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common infectious disease with an estimated incidence of 2-11 cases per 1000 adults in the developed world and a mortality rate of 2%-14% [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] . Due to the range of pathogens responsible for CAP, in moderate or severe infection, broad-spectrum antimicrobial cover should be initiated before de-escalating to narrowspectrum pathogen-directed agents once a microbiological diagnosis has been made [1, 5] . Unfortunately, de-escalation is uncommon in practice because current diagnostic methods may identify a pathogen in only 30%-40% of patients with CAP [4, 6, 7] . Recent studies have highlighted the need for more timely and sensitive microbiological diagnostic methods in CAP, particularly for bacteria and in the common scenario of antibiotic administration prior to sampling [4, 8, 9] .
