Tratamiento farmacológico de las agudizaciones infecciosas de la EPOC
TL;DR: New clinical trials have demonstrated that the antibiotic that best achieves bacterial eradication can prolong exacerbation-free periods and antibiotic treatment should aim to achieve not only the resolution of symptons but also the best eradication possible to hasten recovery and prevent recurrences.

Bacterial infection in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : a study of stable and exacerbated outpatients using the protected specimen brush
TL;DR: The lower airways of asymptomatic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients can be colonized by bacteria, mainly Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Moraxella catarrhalis, but the role of lower airway bacteria in stable and exacerbated COPD has not been well defined.
