The optimal duration of antimicrobial therapy for lower respiratory tract infection in patients with neuromuscular disorders based on a clone library analysis of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the optimal duration of antimicrobial therapy for lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in neuromuscular disorder (NMD) patients. Methods: This prospective study included 13 episodes from 9 NMD patients hospitalized for bacterial LRTI. Sputum samp...
