BACKGROUND: Community-acquired haematogenous pneumonia is a rare infection, though it can be acquired nosocomially. Currently, antibiotics used against pneumonia have shown reduced efficacy. Thus, there is need for an alternative therapy against multidrug-resistant (MDRSA) strains in the community.
