Which drug is preferable in treating nosocomial pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nosocomial: pneumonia is not a specific disease. Nosocomial means that the infection was acquired in the hospital. So the preferred drug would depend on the particular microorganism responsible for the pneumonia, and other clinical factors.
