However, when VAP is first suspected, the bacteria causing infection is typically not known and broad-spectrum antibiotics are given (empiric therapy) until the particular bacterium and its sensitivities are determined.
Broad-spectrum antibiotics are given (empiric therapy) until the particular bacteria and its sensitivity to different antibiotics are determined. However, when VAP is first suspected, the bacteria causing infection is typically not known.
