With common pathogens such as E coli and the pneumonia bug K. pneumoniae developing resistance to our antibiotics of last resort, leading pharmacologists, clinicians and epidemiologists say we risk being cast back to a time

#Topical antibiotics may raise pneumonia risk University of Melbourne rightoriginal Studyposted by David Scott-Melbourne on October 13 2014patients in hospital intensive care units have a higher risk of developing pneumonia
The findings contradict previously published research that topical antibioticsâ##medication applied to the patient s airwayâ##would decrease pneumonia rates.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia develops in approximately 20 percent of patients in intensive care units (ICUS) who are receiving prolonged medical ventilation.
However in the control groups of these published clinical trials of topical antibiotics in this patient group the pneumonia rates were as high as 40 percent.
For a new study published in the journal CHEST researchers analyzed 206 international publications evaluating pneumonia prevention methods in ICUÂ##s from the last 30 years.
The new findings will help improve understanding of how to evaluate pneumonia prevention methods in the ICU says associate professor James Hurley from the University of Melbourne.
Use of topical antibiotics increases the pneumonia risk in ICU patients by disrupting the balance of bacteria
##This surprising finding is not apparent in any one study examined in isolationâ##it requires a meta-analysis of the control group pneumonia rates in all 206 studies to demonstrate these findings.
Pneumonia is acquired commonly by ICU patients leads to longer stays in intensive care and can also increase mortality risk.##
###Therefore it appears topical antibiotics used in an effort to prevent pneumonia in the ICU are a hazard

#Researchers look to exploit females natural resistance to infection Researchers have linked increased resistance to bacterial pneumonia in female mice to an enzyme activated by the female sex hormone estrogen.
Now an international team of scientists has shown that increased resistance to bacterial pneumonia in female mice is linked to the enzyme nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3.

#Double blast to ward off pneumonia: Dry powder inhaler formulation Despite advances in vaccination and antimicrobial therapy, community-acquired pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, even in highly developed countries.
Desmond Heng, Reginald Tan and co-workers at the A*STAR Institute of Chemical and Engineering sciences have developed now a dry powder inhalation formulation to treat bacterial infections associated with this disease1.
Community-acquired pneumonia, a type of lung inflammation contracted outside of a hospital or nursing-home setting, is caused most often by infections with bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.
"Our follow-up microbial assays show that a concentration as low as one microgram per milliliter is enough to inhibit three of the bacteria known to cause this type of pneumonia.""

#New breath test may detect pneumonia LONDON: A simple breath test can now detect if a critically ill patient is infected with pneumonia or not.
Chemically analysing breath specimens from patients in intensive care can reveal bacterial infection in the lower respiratory tract of ventilated patients at risk of developing pneumonia.
Though the study is at an initial stage, the results so far look promising and could potentially have a huge effect on clinical practice as healthcare associated infections are a major issue worldwide."

we may be able to prevent bacteria from disseminating to the bloodstream during pneumonia, said Dr. Hauser, also a member of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University.
Next, Dr. Hauser plans to continue studying the mechanism of how Exos leads to the formation of FOCI. his research might have implications for other bacteria that frequently cause pneumonia
as well as respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia and influenza. Publishing the results in Science Translational Medicine, the team observed no serious side effects.
Studies on mice and rats showed the drug could also be used to prolong survival in particularly severe pneumonia,
