Description
An account of the resource
Purpose of review The studies that are reviewed in this article have all concluded that a shorter duration of antibiotic therapy (7-8 days) may be adequate in the treatment of the majority of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia, and does not confer an increased incidence of mortality. Recent findings Ventilator-associated pneumonia has traditionally been treated with at least 2 weeks of antimicrobial therapy. With the increasing emergence of multi-drug-resistant pathogens, however, efforts have been directed at minimizing the duration of therapy. Several studies have emerged over the last few years aiming to shorten the duration of antimicrobial therapy for ventilator-associated pneumonia. Summary The minimum effective duration of antibiotic therapy, however, remains unclear. Further studies geared towards determining this are needed.

Description
An account of the resource
Purpose of review: The studies, reviewed in this article suggest that a shorter duration of antibiotic therapy is comparable to standard therapy in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia and promotes reduction of adverse events, microbial resistance, cost, and improved patient compliance. Recent findings: Community-acquired pneumonia has traditionally been treated with a 7-14-day course of antimicrobial therapy. Since there have been few well controlled trials regarding the optimal duration of therapy, however, there has been no consensus on length of therapy among different organizational guidelines. Several recent studies have demonstrated that shorter course antibiotic regimens are effective in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia. Summary: Short-course antibiotic therapy is equivalent to standard length of therapy for clinical cure and bacterial eradication. Minimization of drug exposure, however, reduces selection pressure for resistant strains, strengthens patient compliance, and potentially reduces adverse events such as Clostridium difficile infections.
