| Core Tip |
This prospective cohort study developed a structured clinico-microbiological model to distinguish true pathogens from colonizers in lower respiratory tract infections. Among 145 cases, 90% were identified as pathogens, with treatment outcomes aligning closely with the model’s classifications. The findings highlight that microbiological detection alone is insufficient for diagnosing infection - integrating clinical context and outcome data is crucial for rational antibiotic use and effective antimicrobial stewardship. |
