Bacteria: Single-celled microorganisms
Often categorized by their shape: Cocci (spheres), bacilli (rods), vibrio (comma-shaped), and spirochetes (spirals)
Classification of Pneumonia and Risk Factors
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)
Pneumonia diagnosed in outpatient setting or within 48 hours of hospital admission
Hospital-acquired (nosocomial) pneumonia (HAP)
Occurs ≥ 48 hours after hospital admission
Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP)
Affects outpatients in contact with health care system at risk of infections with multidrug-resistant pathogens
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
Occurs ≥ 48 hours after endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation
