Abstract
SIR— We wish to comment on the informative article by Wang et al. [1] from Taiwan and the erudite editorial by Bartlett [2] concerning the role of Klebsiella pneumoniae and anaerobes in lung abscesses. The conclusions of both the article and editorial comment on the changing bacteriologic characteristics of lung abscess, with a possible decreased role of anaerobes.Keywords
