Summary
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a pneumonia that is not acquired in a hospital but, as the name suggests, is acquired elsewhere. Usual pathogens include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila and Moraxella catarrhalis.
Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) is no longer recognized as a clinical entity by the 2019 ATS/IDSA Guidelines on the Management of Community-Acquired Pneumonia. HCAP designation did not uniformly predict drug-resistant organisms, so management is driven on an individual basis.
