Q

Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)

A

S. pneumonia, H.influenza, Intracellular atypical organisms (Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Legionella), Respiratory viruses.

  • S.aureus if IV drug user, recent influenza.
  • Pseudomonas if structural lung disease (e.g. bronchiectasis, COPD with frequent steroid use).

Q

Hospital, Healthcare- Associated, or Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
(HAP, HCAP, VAP)

A

S.aureus (including MRSA) and aerobic gram negative rods including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E.coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Enterobacter species. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) gram negatives are common in ICU patents.
*Role of anaerobes, even in nosocomial aspiration pneumonia, is unclear (but reasonable to add anaerobic coverage in that scenario).

Q

Appendicitis, Diverticulitis, Intraabdominal Abscess, Secondary Peritonitis

A

Polymicrobial GI flora including gram negative rods (especially E.coli) and anaerobes (especially Bacteroides).
For bowel perforation, microbiology depends on site. Upper GI tract (e.g. perforated duodenal ulcer) mainly Streptococcus species. Lower GI tract mainly gram negative rods and anaerobes.
Enterococcus and Candida species usually less important, except in healthcare-associated cases.

Q

Complicated UTI (defined by presence of anatomic or functional abnormality in GU tract, or urinary catheter)

A

More likely to be due to resistant gram negatives including ESBL’s and Pseudomonas. Staph aureus is possible if chronic urinary catheters or stents. Also: Enterococcus, Candida.

Q

Cellulitis

A
Streptococcus species (most commonly Group A), S.aureus including MRSA.
 More unusual pathogens are possible depending on risk factors (i.e. water exposures, animal bites, neutropenia).

Q

Necrotizing Fasciitis

A

Type I is polymicrobial (Streptococci, Gram negatives) and also involves anaerobes.
Type II is due to beta-hemolytic strep (usually group A strep), less commonly CA-MRSA.
