  • Description: The first is sampling error, which will be inevitable when small numbers of cases are submitted from a large number although their local data collected over a longer time period than the British Thoracic Society (BTS) audit suggest that their lower mortality score is real. The ecological importance of good antibiotic stewardship is acknowledged in the BTS guidelines and where possible narrow spectrum agents have been recommended in preference to broad spectrum agents. 4 Since only one-third of admissions for CAP are of high severity, we consider the choice of penicillin plus clarithromycin by Singh et al compared with the BTS recommendation of co-amoxiclav plus clarithromycin to be one that is unlikely to make a significant difference to antibiotic resistance or Clostridium difficile rates.
