In this prospective study we estimate the prevalence of GNB in patients admitted to hospital for CAP, identify their risk factors and clinical predictors and assess CAP-related mortality in Cambodia, a low-income country in Southeast Asia. On admission the following investigations were performed on all patients: chest X-ray, collection of blood and non-induced sputum for microbiological cultures and consecutive samples for direct sputum examination for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) and nasopharyngeal swab for polymerase chain reaction tests for 18 viral respiratory pathogens, including human metapneumovirus; respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); human bocavirus; influenza A and B viruses; coronaviruses OC43, 229E, HKU-1, NL63 and SARS; parainfluenza viruses 1-4; adenoviruses; rhinovirus and enteroviruses. In this prospective observational study from two provincial hospitals in Cambodia, 8.6% of all patients with CAP had infection caused by GNB.	./cache/cord-312772-fxc4zwr3.txt	./txt/cord-312772-fxc4zwr3.txt
