Type of Pneumonia Definition
Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) Pneumonia developing in patients with no contact to a medical facility
Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia (HCAP)
Pneumonia developing in patients not in medical facility but two or more risk factors for multidrug resistant pathogens:
• Recent hospitalization ≥ 2 days within past 90 days• Nursing home or long-term care patients
• Recent antibiotic use, IV therapy, wound care, or chemotherapy within past 30 days
• Hemodialysis patient within past 30 days• Contact with family member who has multidrug resistant pathogen
infection
Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) Pneumonia developing ≥ 48 hours after admission

Risk Factors for Multidrug Resistant PathogensRisk Factors for MDR VAP
• Prior IV antibiotic use within 90days
• Septic Shock at time of VAP
• Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome preceding VAP
• Five or more days of hospitalization prior to the occurrence of VAP
• Acute renal replacement therapy prior to VAP onset
Risk Factors for MDR HAP
• Prior IV antibiotic use within 90 days
Risk Factors for MRSA HAP/VAP
• Prior IV antibiotic use within 90 days
Risk Factors for MDR Pseudomonas HAP/VAP
• Prior IV antibiotic use within 90 days

guidelines by the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the American Thoracic Society. Clinical Infectious Diseases, 63(5), e61-e111.
Empiric Therapy
Patients with no risk factors for MDR should cover
Pseudomonas and MSSA
Decision to cover MRSA or double cover for
Pseudomonas should be guided by patient’s clinical
stability, risk factors for MDR and local antibiograms
