Modern approaches to treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ventilator-associated pneumonia (literature review)

Abstract

Introduction: Nowadays anti-microbial therapy of ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by is one of the most topical issue as a consequence of widespread multiresistant strains of causative agent and their biological peculiarity of actively formation of resistance to new antibacterial drugs. The aim is to describe modern approaches to therapy of ventilator-associated pneumonia causative agent of which is presented by Pseudomonas aureginosa . Materials and methods: An analysis and summing up of results of scientific investigations described in medical publications concerning the issues of therapy of ventilatorassociated pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aureginosa was done. Conclusions: Despite the development of modern approaches to anti-microbial therapy of ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are also concerned with such controversial issues as correct choice of antibacterial drug, its optimal dose, and duration of this therapy, the problem of treatment of hospital-acquired infections of respiratory airways caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been discussable yet and requires the further study.
