Abstract
The challenge In the evaluation of patients with pneumonia generally lies in establishing the likely etiologic agent rather than in diagnosis of pneumonia itself Difficulty indetermining the specific etiology of pneumonia exists even With advanced microbiologic and serologic testing. In many studies of community-acquired pneumonia, a microbial etiology can not be determined in one third to one half of cases even after thorough investigation. The past decade has witnessed a dramatic increase in the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in respiratory pathogens and much of this resistance is related to commonly used antimicrobial agents. The diagnosis of CAP was made in the presence of a new infiltrate on chest radiograph together with symptoms suggestive of a lower respiratory tract infection in the form of (cough, expectoration, fever, dyspnea, chest pain and haemoptesis). All patients hospitalized with CAP at Chest Medicine Department and Emergency Hospital at Mansoura University Hospital in Collaboration with Clinical Pathology Department.. This study comprised 104 cases 59 males (56.7%) and 45 females (433%) with age range from 6 years to 97 years. The aim of this study was to detect the bacteriological cause either typical and atypical organisms of community acquired pneumonia and detection of resistance to antibiotics of typical bacterial organisms detected by gold slandered methods (TNA culture, Blood culture and thoracentesis culture.)
