Infective Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis : Relation between Bacteriologic Etiology and Lung Function
388
TL;DR: In acute infective exacerbations, Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas spp are the predominant bacteria in patients with an FEV1 < or =35% of the predicted value.

Impact of Cigarette Smoke on Clearance and Inflammation after Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection
Anna G. Drannik,Mahmoud A. Pouladi,Clinton S. Robbins,Susanna Goncharova,Sussan Kianpour,Martin R. Stämpfli +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that cigarette smoke affects respiratory immune-inflammatory responses elicited by bacteria, and postulate that altered respiratory host defense may be implicated in smoking-related diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Prognosis of COPD patients requiring frequent hospitalization: role of airway infection.
Feliu Renom,Aina Yañez,Margarita Garau,Mateu Rubí,Maria-José Centeno,Maria-Teresa Gorriz,Magdalena Medinas,Ferran Ramis,Joan B. Soriano,Alvar Agusti +9 more
TL;DR: Main findings show that not all patients had severe disease according to either the degree of airflow limitation or the BODE index, and non-usual pathogens were associated with poor prognosis and frequent hospitalization.
Characterisation of a collection of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from patients suffering from acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis: in vitro susceptibility to antibiotics and biofilm formation in relation to antibiotic efflux and serotypes/serogroups.

Tulkens,Yvan Diaz Iglesias,Jan Verhaegen,Hector Rodriguez-Villalobos,Ivan Philippart,Julie Cadrobbi,Nathalie Coppens,An Boel,Kristien Van Vaerenbergh,Hugo Francart,Raymond Vanhoof,Giuseppe Liistro,Paul Jordens,Jean-Paul d’Odemont,Yvan Valcke,Franck Verschuren,Françoise Van Bambeke +17 more
TL;DR: Serotypes (ST)/serogroups (SG) (Quellung reaction), antibiotic susceptibility patterns [MIC (microdilution) using EUCAST and CLSI criteria] and ability to produce biofilm in vitro (10-day model; crystal violet staining) are determined.
Nebulized Colistin And Continuous Cyclic Azithromycin In Severe COPD Patients With Chronic Bronchial Infection Due To Pseudomonas aeruginosa: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Concepción Montón,Elena Prina,Xavier Pomares,Jose R Cugat,Antonio Casabella,Joan Carles Oliva,Miguel Gallego,Eduard Monsó +7 more
TL;DR: Combined therapy with nebulized colistin and continuous cyclic azithromycin significantly reduced the number of ECOPD, with a marked decrease in P. aeruginosa sputum isolates.
Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Michael S. Niederman,Michael S. Niederman,Michael S. Niederman,Sanjay Sethi,Sanjay Sethi,Sanjay Sethi,Fernando J. Martinez,Fernando J. Martinez,Fernando J. Martinez +8 more
TL;DR: In most outpatients, COPD is associated with significant concomitant chronic diseases (e.g. ischaemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease), which increase its morbidity and mortality.

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.
Antibiotic Therapy in Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

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.

The natural history of chronic airflow obstruction.
C. M. Fletcher,Richard Peto +1 more
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.
