Abstract
Background/aim: The optimal empiric antibiotic regimen for patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical cure rate, mortality, and length of stay among patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia in nonintensive care unit (ICU) wards and treated with a beta-lactam, beta-lactam and macrolide combination, or a fluoroquinolone.
