The relationships between acute lung injury and bacterial infection are complex. Indeed, sepsis and in particular pneumonia are leading causes of acute lung injury. Bacterial superinfection of the lung is a frequent complication of acute lung injury. Because of impaired host defenses and prolonged mechanical ventilation, more than one third of patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome acquire ventilator-associated pneumonia, with resistant pathogens in most instances. This complicatio is responsible for more than a doubling of the time on mechanical ventilation but does not seem to increase mortality.
