Spectrum and isolation time points in TBSs and BALs reflect hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP)/ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) spectrum

(A) First detection time points of the most frequently cultured respiratory pathogens censored at 42 days (detection of Acinetobacter baumannii at day 77 and A. bereziniae at day 66). The n refers to the number of patients with a first detection of the respective pathogen. A total of 468 respiratory specimens from 45 patients were analyzed. Only the first detection event of a relevant respiratory pathogen in a given patient is reported.

(B) Antibiotics used for treatment of superinfections.

(C) Empiric antibiotic therapy used during first course of antibiotic treatment (before or at admission onto ICU).
