The majority of infectious complications in cancer patients are caused by Gram-negative bacilli. The most common organisms are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Sites of infection are related to the patients' underlying malignancies, but pneumonia and septicaemia occur most often. Important newer antibiotics for the therapy of these infections are aminoglycosides and semisynthetic penicillins. It is advisable to utilize combinations of antibiotics for serious infections in cancer patients, and therapy should be instituted promptly at the onset of infection.
癌症患者的大多数感染并发症是由革兰氏阴性杆菌引起的。最常见的病原体是大肠杆菌、克雷伯菌属和铜绿假单胞菌。感染部位与患者潜在的恶性肿瘤有关，但肺炎和败血症最为常见。治疗这些感染的重要新型抗生素是氨基糖苷类和半合成青霉素。对于癌症患者的严重感染，建议联合使用抗生素，并且应在感染发作时立即开始治疗。
