a) Double-barrier methods of contraception (e.g. condoms plus spermicidal foam)
b) Intrauterine contraceptive device
c) Approved pharmaceutical contraceptive product (e.g. birth control pills or patches, longterm injectable or implantable hormonal contraceptive)
2. Intubated and mechanically-ventilated (patients who have had a tracheostomy may be considered as possible study participants)
3. Diagnosis of pneumonia defined as presence of a new or progressive infiltrate(s) on chest radiograph and presence of gram-negative organisms by gram stain of respiratory secretions (tracheal aspirate, BAL, mini-BAL, PBS) plus at least 2 of the following:
a) Fever, defined as an oral temperature of > 38.0°C (100.4°F) or a rectal/core temperature
> 39.0°C (102.2°F), or hypothermia, defined as a rectal/core body temperature of < 35.0°C (95.2°F)
b) Leukocyte count = 10,000/mm3 or = 4,500/mm3
c) New onset of purulent sputum production or respiratory secretions, or a change in the character of sputum
4. Expected to remain intubated and mechanically-ventilated for at least three days after the start of study treatment
5. Be willing and able to give informed consent. If the patient is unable, the patient’s LAR may provide written consent as approved by the IRB/IEC.

2. Known or suspected active tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, AIDS, or Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
3. Receiving immunosuppressive therapy, defined as chronic treatment with known
immunosuppressant medications (including chronic treatment with >10 mg/day of systemic prednisone or equivalent)

14. Is participating in or has participated in other investigational trials within the last 28 days prior to study treatment
15. Presence of any concomitant condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude completion of study evaluations or make it unlikely that the contemplated course of therapy and follow-up could be completed.
16. Known respiratory colonization with amikacin-resistant gram negative rods. Amikacin resistance is defined as an MIC > 32 mcg/mL.
