Antibiotic levels in lungs: key to better pneumonia treatment?
NCT ID NCT03927079
First seen Nov 19, 2025
Summary
This study measures how well certain antibiotics penetrate the lungs in patients with pneumonia. Researchers will compare antibiotic levels in the blood and in lung fluid from 101 adults who need a bronchoscopy. The goal is to find factors that predict good lung penetration, which could help doctors adjust antibiotic doses to improve treatment success.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the right antibiotic dose for lung infections, potentially reducing treatment failures.
What could go wrong
