Antibiotic susceptibility according to age of clinical strains from hospital respiratory samples: A nationwide study
In this large nationwide database of respiratory samples, older age was associated with a high prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa and beta-lactam resistance, a finding challenging current LRTI probabilistic treatment. Conversely, H. influenzae and S. pneumoniae were rarely observed in patients over 80 years of age.
