thanks for posting your query to health care magic.
I want to know that how did you came to know about infection .have you undergone any kind of culture and sensitivity investigation .If yes then which organism is responsible for that infection and sensitive to which antimicrobial agent .
After getting above information you can easily treat infection. I am sorry to say but as your patient is on ventilator it iself increases the chances of infection and further as I am understanding he immune status of patient is also decresed in stress condition . so you need to ake proper prophylactic antibiotic management as per your hospital protocol along with routine culture and sensitivity from recommended site.
Thank you
