TL;DR: Testing concentrated urine samples with the ICT may be a useful technique for rapid diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia in adults with community-acquired pneumonia.

TL;DR: Age and gender have a strong influence on the overall incidence of CAP and on the incidence of pneumonia caused by the main microbial pathogens, including not only Streptococcus pneumoniae, but also influenza virus, Chlamydophila spp.

TL;DR: Three strains were resistant to isoniazid and to the fluoroquinolones, which suggested the existence of mechanisms of resistance not yet described, and may prove to be therapeutic alternatives for treatment of multi-resistant tuberculosis.

TL;DR: It would be of interest to carry out further studies to determine to what extent these active efflux systems influence resistance to the different groups of drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis, with a view to the possibility of using the inhibitors of these systems in future therapeutic applications.

TL;DR: The advanced age of the population with CAP, and the high prevalence of dementia as an underlying disease, were key findings from this study, and microbiological diagnosis of CAP remains problematic.
