- Abstract
The article pays tribute to Chris Stoutenbeek, a professor in intensive care medicine (ICM) at the University of Amsterdam. The authors believe that Stoutenbeek's contributions to the field of ICM is his understanding of the role of the abnormal carrier state of throat and gut as an important step in the pathogenesis of ventilator-associated pneumonia. They also comment that Stoutenbeek is one of the people who introduced selective digestive decontamination as a means of preventing infection.
