Enterobacter pneumonia

Enterobacter pneumonia was extremely rare in the past. In recent decades. With the increase in the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and respiratory medical devices, Enterobacter pneumonia has accounted for 9.4% of hospital-acquired pneumonia. Among them, Enterobacter cloacae and Enterobacter aerogenes are common. Clinically, Enterobacter pneumonia mostly occurs in debilitated or immunosuppressed persons, and is prone to outbreaks caused by contaminated medical equipment. It is often accompanied by bacteremia and poor response to various antibiotics.
