Summary

Cirrhotic patients are more vulnerable to bacterial infection, and infection is one of the most common causes of acute liver disease decompensation.

Detailed description

Cirrhotic patients are more vulnerable to bacterial infection which is a common cause of acute liver disease decompensation. The aim of this study will characterize the antimicrobial resistance and distribution of bacteria isolated from chronic hepatic patients with pulmonary infections, as well as to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria isolated from sputum.
