Nosocomial Pneumonia: Understanding

Nosocomial Pneumonia: Overview

Nosocomial pneumonia, also known as hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), is defined as a lung infection that develops 48 hours or more after hospital admission and was not incubating at the time of admission. A significant subset of HAP is ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), which occurs more than 48 to 72 hours after endotracheal intubation, typically in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. VAP affects approximately 10% to 20% of patients who receive mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. These infections are associated with increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, higher healthcare costs, and greater risk of mortality, making early recognition and appropriate management critical.

 

The etiology of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) commonly involves aerobic gram-negative bacilli such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter species, and Acinetobacter species, as well as gram-positive cocci including Staphylococcus aureus (notably methicillin-resistant S. aureus or MRSA) and Streptococcus species. The distribution of causative pathogens can vary depending on host factors and institutional microbial flora. Several risk factors increase the likelihood of multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections: for MDR VAP, these include septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) before VAP onset, recent intravenous antibiotic use, prolonged hospitalization, and renal replacement therapy. For MDR HAP, prior intravenous antibiotic use within 90 days is a key risk factor. The same applies to the risk of MRSA and MDR Pseudomonas in both HAP and VAP, highlighting the importance of tailored empiric therapy based on individual patient risk profiles and local resistance patterns.

 

The pathophysiology of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) involves the transmission of pathogens through various routes within the healthcare setting. Direct contact, such as when healthcare workers handle or assist patients, can transfer infectious agents. Pathogens may also persist in the hospital environment, contaminating surfaces and instruments, and be transmitted through patient contact with these items. Invasive procedures, including the insertion of catheters or surgical interventions, can introduce pathogens directly into normally sterile sites like the bloodstream or deep tissues. Medical devices such as catheters and ventilators can serve as reservoirs for microbial colonization and facilitate the spread of infection. Additionally, the inappropriate or excessive use of antibiotics can promote the development and selection of antibiotic-resistant organisms, complicating treatment and increasing the risk of severe infections. 

 

The treatment and management of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) begin with empiric antibiotic therapy targeting common pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other gram-negative bacilli. Antibiotic selection should consider local resistance patterns and individual risk factors for multidrug resistance. Patients with MRSA risk—due to recent antibiotic use, high-prevalence units, or severe illness—should receive vancomycin or linezolid, while those without such risk may be treated with agents like piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime. High-risk patients may require dual anti-pseudomonal therapy, whereas others can be treated with a single active agent. All patients should be reassessed within 48 to 72 hours; therapy should be narrowed or discontinued based on clinical response and culture results. A 7-day course is usually effective, though extended treatment may be necessary for complications or immunocompromised patients.

Nosocomial Pneumonia Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Nosocomial Pneumonia report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including Phase III, II, I, Preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

 

Nosocomial Pneumonia Emerging Drugs

• AR-301: Aridis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

AR-301 (tosatoxumab) is a fully human monoclonal IgG1 antibody (mAb) that specifically targets S. aureus alpha-toxin, an important virulence factor that is secreted by both methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA). AR-301 protects against alpha-toxin mediated destruction of host cells, preserving the human immune cells. AR-301’s mode of action is independent of the antibiotic resistance profile of S. aureus, and it is active against infections caused by both MRSA and MSSA. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track Designation to AR-301 for the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia (HAP and VAP). AR-301 has already demonstrated strong prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in mouse models of S. aureus pneumonia and has also been granted Orphan Drug designation in the European Union (EU). Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of Nosocomial Pneumonia.

 

• BV100: BioVersys AG

BV100 is a novel formulation of rifabutin suitable for intravenous administration, with a recently discovered novel mode of action showing an active uptake of rifabutin into the Gram-negative bacterial species, Acinetobacter baumannii. For the first time, the lead candidate allows for the targeting of the RNA-polymerase enzyme in Gram-negative bacteria with a human-suitable dose. BV100 is being developed for the treatment of infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii calcoaceticus complex (ABC), including Carbapenem-Resistant ABC (CRAB) in critically important indications of ventilator associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) and bloodstream infections (BSI). BV100 was granted QIDP Designation by the US FDA in May 2019 for use in the treatment of VABP, HABP and BSI, making BV100 eligible for priority FDA review, Fast Track designation, and a five-year extension of market exclusivity upon approval of the first QIDP indication. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Nosocomial Pneumonia.

 

• AR-105: Aridis Pharmaceuticals Inc.

R-105 (Aerucin®) is a broadly active, fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeted against P. aeruginosa alginate, a widely distributed cell surface polysaccharide involved in surface adhesion, biofilm formation, and protection against the human immune system. AR-105 exhibits a broad recognition to diverse, unrelated P. aeruginosa clinical isolates due to the ubiquitous nature of the alginate surface polysaccharide. AR-105’s mechanism of action is different from mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, and is effective against a broad collection of P. aeruginosa clinical isolates tested. AR-105 effectively protected against lethal challenges of a variety of P. aeruginosa strains in mouse models of acute pneumonia and bacteremia. AR-105 is also shown to be effective when used in combination with standard of care antibiotics in P. aeruginosa infection models. This mAb candidate is being developed as first-line adjunctive therapy to standard of care antibiotics, and has been granted Fast-Track designation by the FDA. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Nosocomial Pneumonia.
