Both regimens demonstrated similar outcomes against CAP due to either 'atypical' (Chlamydophila, Legionella or Mycoplasma spp.) or typical bacterial pathogens. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11428 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1469-0691.2011.03759.x | ORCID: | Journal: | Clinical Microbiology and Infection : the Official Publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22284533 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Aged Aged, 80 and over Anti-Bacterial Agents.therapeutic use Australia.epidemiology Chlamydophila.pathogenicity Community-Acquired Infections.drug therapy.epidemiology.microbiology Doxycycline.therapeutic use Drug Therapy, Combination Female Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections.drug therapy.epidemiology.microbiology Humans Legionella.pathogenicity Macrolides.therapeutic use Male Middle Aged Mycoplasma.pathogenicity Mycoplasma Infections.drug therapy.epidemiology.microbiology Pneumonia, Bacterial.drug therapy.epidemiology.microbiology Prospective Studies Severity of Illness Index Treatment Outcome Young Adult beta-Lactams.therapeutic use |
