Men&#233;ndez et al&#46; conclude that in the absence of randomised clinical trials and based on clinical evidence from observational studies&#44; the combination of a macrolide and a beta-lactam should constitute the empirical outpatient treatment regimen in patients with CAP or consider the administration of a quinolone in monotherapy&#46; However&#44; a recent systematic review and meta-analysis published by Horita et al&#46;&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> showed based on mostly observational studies that&#44; compared with beta-lactam monotherapy&#44; combination therapy with a beta-lactam plus macrolide may decrease all-cause mortality only in severe CAP&#44; with an odds ratio &#40;OR&#41; of 0&#46;75 &#40;95&#37;

two randomised clinical trials with patients with a median pneumonia severity index of 3 and one observational study &#40;outpatients with a low severity&#44; with a median CRB65 of 1&#41;&#46; No randomised clinical trials comparing beta-lactam with a combination of beta-lactam and macrolides have been published in primary care&#46; Extrapolation of the results of the group of mild to moderate CAP from this meta-analysis to patients managed in primary care might&#44; therefore&#44; not be straightforward&#46; However&#44; this is currently the only information available from patients with lower CAP severity&#46; The authors of this meta-analysis also found significantly more adverse events in the group receiving a combination of antibiotics&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Between two-thirds and 80&#37;

both at the individual and the community level&#44; and increases the likelihood of adverse events&#44; as shown in the previous meta-analysis&#46; Therefore&#44; prudent antibiotic stewardship strategies&#44; aiming to ensure the judicious use of antimicrobials by preventing their unnecessary use&#44; should be encouraged&#46; In addition&#44; in the absence of a superiority of broad-spectrum antibiotic regimens&#44; narrowing the spectrum of coverage of empirical treatments as well as shortening the duration of therapies are preferable to reduce the emergence of resistance and adverse effects&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We agree with the authors that more high quality randomised clinical trials comparing beta-lactam monotherapy with dual antibiotic regimens should be carried out in primary care&#46;

Therefore&#44; we propose further studies in ambulatory CAP that allow us to reaffirm our idea that beta-lactam monotherapy should be the first line in outpatients and reserve respiratory fluoroquinolone or the combination of a macrolide and a beta-lactam if there is a documented allergy to &#946; lactams &#40;in this case use of fluoroquinolone&#41;&#44; presence of significant comorbidities&#44; therapeutic failure&#44; or in areas with high suspicion of prevalence of highly resistant pneumococci&#46;

Men&#233;ndez et al&#46; conclude that in the absence of randomised clinical trials and based on clinical evidence from observational studies&#44; the combination of a macrolide and a beta-lactam should constitute the empirical outpatient treatment regimen in patients with CAP or consider the administration of a quinolone in monotherapy&#46; However&#44; a recent systematic review and meta-analysis published by Horita et al&#46;&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> showed based on mostly observational studies that&#44; compared with beta-lactam monotherapy&#44; combination therapy with a beta-lactam plus macrolide may decrease all-cause mortality only in severe CAP&#44; with an odds ratio &#40;OR&#41; of 0&#46;75 &#40;95&#37; CI&#44; 0&#46;65&#8211;0&#46;86&#41;&#44; but not in mild to moderate CAP &#40;OR 1&#46;12&#44; 95&#37; CI&#44; 0&#46;87&#8211;1&#46;45&#41;&#46; However&#44; this pooled OR for mild to moderate CAP comes from only three studies&#58; two randomised clinical trials with patients with a median pneumonia severity index of 3 and one observational study &#40;outpatients with a low severity&#44; with a median CRB65 of 1&#41;&#46; No randomised clinical trials comparing beta-lactam with a combination of beta-lactam and macrolides have been published in primary care&#46; Extrapolation of the results of the group of mild to moderate CAP from this meta-analysis to patients managed in primary care might&#44; therefore&#44; not be straightforward&#46; However&#44; this is currently the only information available from patients with lower CAP severity&#46; The authors of this meta-analysis also found significantly more adverse events in the group receiving a combination of antibiotics&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Between two-thirds and 80&#37;

both at the individual and the community level&#44; and increases the likelihood of adverse events&#44; as shown in the previous meta-analysis&#46; Therefore&#44; prudent antibiotic stewardship strategies&#44; aiming to ensure the judicious use of antimicrobials by preventing their unnecessary use&#44; should be encouraged&#46; In addition&#44; in the absence of a superiority of broad-spectrum antibiotic regimens&#44; narrowing the spectrum of coverage of empirical treatments as well as shortening the duration of therapies are preferable to reduce the emergence of resistance and adverse effects&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We agree with the authors that more high quality randomised clinical trials comparing beta-lactam monotherapy with dual antibiotic regimens should be carried out in primary care&#46;

Therefore&#44; we propose further studies in ambulatory CAP that allow us to reaffirm our idea that beta-lactam monotherapy should be the first line in outpatients and reserve respiratory fluoroquinolone or the combination of a macrolide and a beta-lactam if there is a documented allergy to &#946; lactams &#40;in this case use of fluoroquinolone&#41;&#44; presence of significant comorbidities&#44; therapeutic failure&#44; or in areas with high suspicion of prevalence of highly resistant pneumococci&#46;
