I do know that patients in ICU's become colonized with gram negatives in their respiratory tracts very quickly. Whether they actually cause pneumonia depends on history, xrays, and lots of input that I don't have access to as a MT. Perhaps you will run into an infectious disease doc along the way - ask him/her this question. Sorry I can't help. I read out cultures, but that's pretty much it.
