Brief Summary
This project aimed at analyzing and assessing of the early and late Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia(HAP) bacterial pathogens and their resistance to antimicrobial agents. The incidence of their resistance to antimicrobial agent is assessed. Included are patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Departments of cooperated University hospitals, who developed early or late HAP. Bacterial pathogens and their resistance to antibiotics are identified using standard microbiological methods. The patient's mortality with respect to their initial antibiotic therapy is statistically analyzed.

Eligibility Criteria
The group comprised patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Departments of cooperating hospitals between 1 May 2013 and 30 April 2015 who developer signs of HAP.
You may qualify if:
- The clinical signs of pneumonia are defined as the presence of newly developed or progressive infiltrates on chest radiographs plus at least two other signs of respiratory tract infection: temperature \>38 °C, purulent sputum, leukocytosis \>10x103/mm3 or leukopenia \<4x103/mm3, signs of inflammation on auscultation, cough and/or respiratory insufficiency with oxygenation index PaO2/FiO2 ≤300 mm Hg.
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnancy.
- The etiologic agent is considered relevant if cultured in the tracheal secretion at a quantity of \>105 CFU/ml.
- Patients agreement absence.

Biospecimen
In intubated patients, secretion samples for microbiology culture tests are obtained by aspiration from the lower airway.
