Bacterial etiology in early re-admission patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: Non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB and enterobacteria were the predominant bacteria in early readmission patients with AECOPD and the detection rate of MDR bacteria was high which was related to the use of antibiotics within 2 weeks before admission in these patients.
Streptococcus pneumoniae urinary antigen test and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: This test may be a useful method for preventing the under-diagnosis of S. pneumoniae-related exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
Utilisation des outils diagnostiques microbiologiques dans les infections pulmonaires communautaires
TL;DR: L’evaluation des methodes de diagnostic microbiologique des infections pulmonaires montre un mauvais usage des serologies and une trop faible prescription of l’antigenurie legionelle recommandee en cas of signes cliniques de gravite.

TL;DR: Values below this suggest that further studies, such as split func-tion assessment by quantitative lung scintigraphy and exercisetesting, are warranted, and that all elective surgery Prophylaxis against deep venous throm-bosis should be given before most procedures that will require postoperative bed rest or significantly reduce mobility.

TL;DR: There was a significant benefit associated with antibiotic and Peak flow recovered more rapidly with antibiotic treatment than with placebo, and side effects were uncommon and did not differ between antibiotic and placebo.

TL;DR: Severe or fatal obstructive lung disease could be prevented by screening smokers' lung function in early middle age if those with reduced function could be induced to stop smoking.

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.
