==Overview==
[[Aspiration pneumonia]] caused by bacterial infection is the commonest subtype of [[aspiration pneumonia]]. The other subtypes being [[chemical pneumonia]], and airway obstructions.
==Causes==
* Normal flora of upper airways, gingival cavity or stomach.
* Caused by less virulent bacteria, such as aerobic or microaerophilic [[streptococci]] (commonest) and anaerobes (second common cause) such as
** [[Peptostreptococcus]]
** [[Fusobacterium nucleatum]]
** [[Prevotella]]
** [[Bacteroides]]
==Diagnosis==
==History and symptoms==
===The manifestation depends on:===
* The bacteria involved
* Time since aspiration to diagnosis
* Immune status of the host
===Symptoms in aerobic microbes===
* Abrupt or Indolent course
* Productive [[cough]]
* [[Fever]]
* Absence of [[chills]] and [[rigors]]
* [[Dyspnea]]
* [[Anorexia]], weight loss
* [[Anemia]]
==Lab diagnosis==
===Sputum culture===
* Expectorated sputum is not used as an diagnostic tools as contamination by the normal flora of the mouth and airways is inevitable.
* Specimen obtained via bronchoscopy may be suitable but limited studies are available to prove this.
===Symptoms in anaerobic microbes===
Clinical features, which are characteristic of aspiration pneumonia involving anaerobic bacteria, include:
* Indolent course
* Presence of risk factors: altered sensorium (anesthesia, alcohol, drug, trauma, dysphagia, dental caries)
* Putrid sputum
* Absence of chills and rigors
==Chest X Ray==
* Lung abscess
* Empyema
* Involvement of dependent pulmonary lobes i.e., upright position lower lobe, superior segment of lower lobes or posterior segment of upper lobes in recumbent position
==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
* Lung abscess
* Necrotizing pneumonia
* Empyema
* Bronchopleural fistula
==Risk factors==
* Poor dental hygiene is a risk factor
* Patients with good dental hygiene and edentulous are less predisposed
==Treatment==
===Medical therapy===
====Antibiotics====
* Treatment of choice [[clindamycin]]
** Doses 600 mg Q8hourly, followed by 300 mg Q6hourly, or 450 mg tid
** Advantage of clindamycin :
*** Cheap
*** Less incidences of superimposed [[MRSA]]
* Other agents used: [[Ampicillin-sulbactam]] (1.5 g or 3 g twice daily), [[Imipenem]] ([[Invanz]] 500 mg BID), [[amoxicillin]]-[[clavulnate]] (875 mg orally bid), [[penicillin]] (1 to 2 million units IV Q6hourly) / amoxicillin (500 mg orally tid)+ [[metronidazole]] (500 mg orally or IV tid).
* Monotherapy with metronidazole is not preferred as high failure rates have been reported. This is because metronidazole is ineffective against some pathogens such as microaerophilic and aerobic streptococci
