A member asked:
What's the general treatment for patients with hospital acquired pneumonia with risk of pseudomonas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pseudomonas: This organism can be difficult to treat when causing pneumonia, but there are several antibiotics that may be quite effective when combined with intensive pulmonary care. The choice will depend upon the in vitro sensitivities of the strain isolated, or in the alternative on what strains in the hospital are showing in general. You need an infectious diseases expert involved.
