人工呼吸器関連肺炎は、集中治療室（ICU）の挿管患者によく見られる院内感染である。重大な罹患率と死亡率に関連しています。原因菌にはグラム陰性桿菌（大腸菌、肺炎桿菌、またはアシネトバクター種）やグラム陽性桿菌（黄色ブドウ球菌）が含まれる．ここでは、比較的未知のグラム陰性菌であるCupriavidus (C.) pauculusに起因する人工呼吸器関連肺炎の1例を紹介し、cefepimeの静脈内投与で治療が成功した。

Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a hospital-acquired infection that is commonly encountered in intubated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The causative organisms include gram-negative rods (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Acinetobacter species) or gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus aureus). Described here is a case of ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by a relatively unknown gram-negative bacterium, Cupriavidus (C.) pauculus that was successfully treated with intravenous cefepime.
