Brief Summary

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) refers to a lower respiratory tract nosocomial infection acquired \>48h after being intubated in Intensive Care Units. Pathogenesis of VAP is mechanical and associated with microaspiration and leakage of oropharyngeal secretions around the endotracheal tube. A novel approach to VAP will attempt to explore how the abrupt ecological order of acute infection (high bacterial biomass, low community diversity) emerges from the dynamic homeostasis of a pre-existing ecosystem in which lung microbiota and local immunity interaction play their essential role. Therefore, the investigators aim to explore if oral and lung microbiota modifications with local immunity changes, contribute in the pathogenesis of VAP in patients intubated for non-pulmonary reasons. Early changes in the host microbiota with the innate immunity system impairs tissue homeostasis and may represent a new distinct condition and a potential tool for early diagnosis and prevention of VAP.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Lung/oral microbiota and VAP development

  Alfa and beta diversity variation based on 16S-rRNA sequencing in tracheal aspirates and oral samples. To explore the association between the composition and related changes over time of the lung/oral microbiota and VAP development has been used the measure of the alfa-diversity (number of different OTUs in each sample) and beta-diversity (similarity between samples in terms of OTUS composition).

  (Time frame for VAP patients: intubation (T0), 24h before VAP development (T pre- VAP) and at VAP development (T-VAP). Time frame for non-VAP patients: intubation (T0), samples corresponding to T-VAP of matched VAP patients (T no VAP))
