This study aimed to analyze nosocomial respiratory infection (NRI) in patients with bronchial asthma. Among the clinical data of 575 asthmatic patients that was collected and analyzed, 52 were diagnosed with NRI. The most common gram-positive bacterial species was Streptococcus pneumoniae, which was detected in 8 patients, whereas the predominant Gram-negative bacteria included Haemophilus influenzae (11 patients), Moraxella catarrhalis (8 patients), and Escherichia coli (7 patients).
