Rationale for change
Per UWorld (step 2), oral anaerobic bacteria are most common organisms for empyema
Source: UWorld - Step 2 20111
Rejection reason
The question you cite is about aspiration pneumonia complicated by empyema. Nowhere in the stem or explanation does it state that anaerobic bacteria are the most common cause of aspiration pneumonia

Extra
- Infections may still be polymicrobial, containing both aerobic and anaerobic pathogens
- Aspiration pneumonia complications, such as lung abscesses or empyema, are usually polymicrobial
- This card used to say anaerobic; however, AMBOSS, UWorld, and recent studies show that aerobic upper respiratory organisms are the most common cause (Sep 2024)
