Overview
This study looks at how different antibiotic treatments affect patients in intensive care who have pneumonia caused by the bacteria Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. It compares using one antibiotic versus two antibiotics, and treatment lengths of 7 days versus 14 days, to see which approach helps patients survive better. The study also examines how resistant the bacteria are to antibiotics and how often the pneumonia comes back.
Primary outcome measures
- patient survival based on the antibiotic treatment strategy used (monotherapy vs. combination therapy and 7 vs. 14 days duration). [Time frame: 28 days]
