==Overview==


Community-acquired pneumonia can be caused by viral, bacterial, and fungal organisms. Causative etiology varies with age, immune status, epidemiologic background, and comorbidity.
Community-acquired pneumonia can be caused by viral, bacterial, and fungal organisms. Causative etiology varies with age, immune status, epidemiologic background, and comorbidity. The most common cause of CAP in adult outpatients and inpatients is ''Streptococcus pneumoniae''.  Patients admitted to the intensive care unit tend to have more aggressive organisms such as ''Staphylococcus aureus'' and Gram-negative bacilli.  Neonates are most susceptible to Group-B-Streptococcus (GBS) which causes approximately 50% of pneumonias in the first week of life.  Children and elderly patients are more susceptible to viral infections as well atypical bacterial pneumonias (Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Legionella).

======Atypical Organisms======
* ''[[Mycoplasma pneumoniae]]'', ''[[Chlamydophila pneumoniae]]'', and ''[[Legionella|Legionella pneumophila]]'' are often grouped as atypical pneumonia. Community acquired pneumonia caused by these agents present insidiously, with a non-productive cough and prominent extra-pulmonary complaints, such as myalgias and diarrhea (lack the typical pneumonia symptoms of fever, cough, and sputum).
* ''[[Mycoplasma pneumoniae]]'' is often referred to as "walking pneumonia." It is transmitted via respiratory droplets and is common among healthy individuals in close contact with one another, such as dormitories or military barracks.
* Atypical organisms are more difficult to grow, respond to different antibiotics, and were discovered more recently than the typical bacteria discovered in the early twentieth century.

Overview

Community-acquired pneumonia can be caused by viral, bacterial, and fungal organisms. Causative etiology varies with age, immune status, epidemiologic background, and comorbidity. The most common cause of CAP in adult outpatients and inpatients is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Patients admitted to the intensive care unit tend to have more aggressive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacilli. Neonates are most susceptible to Group-B-Streptococcus (GBS) which causes approximately 50% of pneumonias in the first week of life. Children and elderly patients are more susceptible to viral infections as well atypical bacterial pneumonias (Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Legionella).

  • Newborn infants, children, and adults are at risk for different spectrums of disease causing microorganisms.
  • In addition, adults with chronic illnesses, who live in certain parts of the world, who reside in nursing homes, who have recently been treated with antibiotics, or who are alcoholics are at risk for unique infections.

Infants and Newborns

Children

Adults

The causes of CAP in adults are outlined in the following categories.

Viruses
Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of community-acquired pneumonia.
  • Aspiration pneumonia is most commonly caused by anaerobic organisms.
  • Prior to the development of antibiotics and vaccination, it was a leading cause of death.
  • Traditionally, it was highly sensitive to penicillin, but during the 1970s resistance to multiple antibiotics began to develop.
  • Current strains of drug resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP) are common, accounting for twenty percent of all streptococcal infections.
  • risk factors for DRSP in adults include: being older than 65, having exposure to children in day care, alcoholism, other severe underlying disease, or recent treatment with antibiotics; individuals exposed to these risk factors should initially be treated with antibiotics effective against DRSP.[8]
Atypical Organisms
  • Mycoplasma pneumoniae is often referred to as "walking pneumonia." It is transmitted via respiratory droplets and is common among healthy individuals in close contact with one another in settings such as dormitories or military barracks.
  • Atypical organisms are more difficult to grow and respond to different antibiotics; they were discovered more recently than the typical bacteria discovered in the early twentieth century.
Haemophilus influenzae
  • Haemophilus influenzae used to be a common bacterial cause of CAP.
  • First discovered in 1892, it was initially believed to be the cause of influenza because it commonly causes CAP in people who have suffered recent lung damage from viral pneumonia.
Enteric Gram-Negative Bacteria
  • Enteric bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae may cause commnity-acquired penumonia.
  • risk factors in adults for infection include: living in a nursing home, serious heart and lung disease, and recent antibiotic use; these individuals should initially be treated with antibiotics effective against enteric Gram-negative bacteria.
