Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) is an infection of pulmonary parenchyma. Despite availability of potent antibiotics, CAP remains a common and serious illness with significant morbidity and mortality. Objective of the study is to identify the bacteria causing community acquired pneumonia and risk factors associated with it. 100 clinically diagnosed CAP patients attending medical out-patient and admitted in Upgraded Osmania General Hospital selected. Study was conducted during Sept 2016 to Oct 2017. Sputum samples were cultured and organism identified by standard biochemical tests. Out of 100 included, 52 had identifiable etiology. Most frequent organism was Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=27) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (n=14). People in the age group of 45-65 years were more susceptible. Major risk factor was smoking. | 2019 8 1 644-654 EXCELLENT PUBLISHERS International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 01 2019 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https Study of Bacterial Isolates in Community Acquired Pneumonia Sarah Firdous and S.

Introduction Community Acquired Pneumonia CAP is a commonly encountered lower respiratory tract infection by clinicians. It is defined as an infection of the pulmonary parenchyma. Infectious Diseases Society of America defines Community Acquired pneumonia CAP as an acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma that is associated with at least some symptoms of acute infection cough dyspnoea fever accompanied by the presence of an acute infiltrate on a chest radiograph or auscultatory findings ronchi crepitations consistent with pneumonia in a patient not hospitalized or residing in
