    The Role of the Intensive Care Unit Environment in the Pathogenesis and Prevention of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Christopher J Crnich MD MSc, Nasia Safdar MD MSc, and Dennis G Maki MD Introduction Epidemiology and Pathogenesis Aerodigestive Colonization Direct Inoculation of the Lower Airway Importance of Endogenous Versus Exogenous Colonization Environmental Sources of Colonization Animate Environment Inanimate Environment The Need for a More Comprehensive Approach to the Prevention of VAP That Acknowledges the Important Role of the Hospital Environment Organizational Structure Interventions at the Interface Between the Health Care Worker and the Patient or Inanimate Environment Prevention of Infections Caused by Respiratory Devices Prevention of Infections Caused by Legionella Species Prevention of Infections Caused by Filamentous Fungi Summary Ventilator-associated pneumonia is preceded by lower-respiratory-tract colonization by pathogenic microorganisms that derive from endogenous or exogenous sources. Most ventilator-associated pneumonias are the result of exogenous nosocomial colonization, especially, pneumonias caused by resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multi-resistant Acineto- bacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa,orbyLegionella species or filamentous fungi, such as Aspergillus. Exogenous colonization originates from a very wide variety of animate and inani- mate sources in the intensive care unit environment. As a result, a strategic approach that combines measures to prevent cross-colonization with those that focus on oral hygiene and prevention of microaspiration of colonized oropharyngeal secretions should bring the greatest reduction in the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia. This review examines strategies to prevent transmission of environmental pathogens to the vulnerable mechanically-ventilated patient. Key words: ventilator- associated pneumonia.
