The treatment of pneumonia depends on the age, the severity of illness, the likely causative agents, and their resistance patterns. Guidelines recommended the use of third- and fourthgeneration cephalosporins, BL + BLI (β-lactam + β-lactamase inhibitor) combinations, and even carbapenems for the management of Gram-negative infections and vancomycin/linezolid for the management of Gram-positive infections.
