 AB    CAP requiring ICU admission is a distinct clinical entity. The mortality
       rate of pneumonia in this subset of patients has been unchanged in the
       past several years. Aggressive diagnostic of strategies to establish the
       causative pathogens of pneumonia rapidly will enable clinicians to
       adjust antibiotic therapy appropriately. It is hoped that new adjunctive
       therapeutic options that positively influence host-related factors and
       bolster pulmonary antibacterial defense will result in reduced morbidity
       and mortality.
