    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Enterobacter species are increasingly recognized as significant lower respiratory tract pathogens, causing fatal nosocomial pneumonia, particularly in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study highlights the need for greater awareness of these infections.

    Area of Science:

    • * Infectious Diseases
    • * Pulmonology
    • * Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • * Enterobacter species are not traditionally considered primary lower respiratory tract pathogens.
    • * Nosocomial pneumonia poses a significant threat, especially in vulnerable patient populations.

    Observation:

    • * Eleven cases of Enterobacter pneumonia were identified.
    • * Diagnoses were confirmed via transtracheal aspiration and blood/sputum cultures.
    • * The majority of infections were hospital-acquired (nosocomial).

    Findings:

    • * Enterobacter pneumonia occurred in elderly patients (mean age 65 years).
    • * Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was a common comorbidity.
    • * The mortality rate was high, with five of eleven patients succumbing to the infection.

    Implications:

    • * Enterobacter species should be considered important pathogens in nosocomial pneumonia.
    • * Increased vigilance is warranted for elderly patients with COPD.
    • * Early diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy are crucial for improving outcomes.
