Ventilator pneumonia in COVID-19: antibiotics failing to reach the lungs?
NCT ID NCT05464680
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at why antibiotics often fail to treat pneumonia in COVID-19 patients on ventilators. Researchers measured how much of the antibiotic piperacillin reaches the lungs in 34 adults with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The goal was to understand if poor lung penetration explains the high rate of repeat infections, which could lead to better dosing strategies.
