Severe pneumonia was 45% in patients with health care exposure risk factors and 29% without the risk factors . The prevalence of drug-resistant pathogens ranged from 23 to 42 % Overtreated Failure to initiate effective antimicrobials in patients with drug-resistant pathogens is associated with worse outcomes A higher number of risk factors was associated with a higher probability of drug-resistant pathogens: No risk factor 3.5 % / Six risk factors 83.3 %

Systemic Inflammatory Response Cytokine levels are generally very high and tend to decrease over the next 5 days Peripheral blood neutrophils are the primary cells that drive the release of both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines Excessive production of inflammatory cytokines, or Imbalance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines Pathogen virulence and load, and intrinsic host predisposition (comorbidities and genetics) Single-gene polymorphisms of CD86 L . pneumophila , S . pneumoniae , or Enterobacteriaceae
Systemic Inflammatory Response L ocal and systemic responses may show different degrees of inflammation Patients with severe CAP had a higher plasma cytokine response when compared with patients with non severe CAP S evere CAP had two times higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α , and CXCL8, and four to five times higher levels of adaptive immunity-related cytokines interferon-γ and IL-17 Plasma high serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and C-reactive protein on the first day of admission were independent predictors of treatment failure A dmission to the ICU had higher serum levels of IL-6, procalcitonin , and C-reactive protein D eath had significantly higher serum levels of procalcitonin , C-reactive protein, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8

Aetiology Vary based on geography, season, population demographics, and the presence of pandemics and epidemics. Viruses are the most commonly identified causes of both SCAP and non-SCAP in the United States, and globally. 18 to 30% of cases are due to a virus . National surveillance study in China (2009 – 2020) - Influenza (10 %) - Respiratory syncytial virus (9%) - Rhinovirus (7 %) - Parainfluenza virus (5 %) - Adenovirus (3.6 %) - Human metapneumovirus (1.8 %)

The Rationale for Determining the Etiology of Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia The importance of identifying the specific etiology of SCAP is debatable Clinical outcomes were not impacted by microbiological studies compared with empirical treatment Blood and respiratory tract specimen cultures have higher yield in SCAP B ecause antibiotic regimens for SCAP may include anti-MRSA and/or antipseudomonal therapy for patients with risk factors, the opportunity for antibiotic de-escalation is greater The clinical instability of patients with SCAP justifies a more comprehensive approach to pathogen detection to ensure appropriate therapy is administered in a timely fashion . Antibiotics can be avoided or discontinued

Streptococcus pneumoniae Alcoholism , COPD, and nursing home residency Transmitted through droplets or contact with contaminated surfaces Colonization is thought to be a prerequisite for invasive disease . Predominant carriers of S . Pneumoniae : children Approximately 10% of adults are also asymptomatic carriers. Pneumococcal vaccine - 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (1983) - 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate (2000) - 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13 ) (2010) Continues to be one of the most commonly identified bacterial etiologies of SCAP.
Streptococcus pneumoniae Gram-positive α- hemolytic bacteria Colonizes the upper respiratory tract in healthy individuals. 90 serotypes / Degrees of virulence Serotypes 1 and 19A: bacteremic pneumonia, meningitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome Virulence of S. pneumoniae is primarily related to the structure of the capsular polysaccharide, which aids in establishing contact with the epithelium and also acts as a barrier to phagocytosis .
Streptococcus pneumoniae Surface protein CbpA interacts with the immunoglobulin receptor of respiratory epithelial cells, leading to bacterial entry into the cell. Pneumolysin , a pore-forming exotoxin produced by all serotypes of S. pneumoniae , exhibits lytic activity against cholesterol-containing cell membranes leading to cellular toxicity , DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, and inflammation
Staphylococcus aureus Gram-positive cocci-shaped bacteria , often identified in clusters Less than 2 % of hospitalized CAP cases in adults . During the coronavirus disease, was the most common bacterial pathogen present at the time of intubation R esults in significantly more ARDS , septic shock, and in-hospital mortality Clinical features of methicillin-sensitive S . aureus SCAP = community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) SCAP : both include multifocal infiltrates, hemoptysis, and pleural effusion Many S. aureus virulence factors are encoded on mobile genetic elements that can be efficiently transferred between strains.
Staphylococcus aureus Exotoxins Alpha- hemolysin toxin - Leads to pore formation and cell death Panton Valentine leucocidin (PVL) toxin - Associated with SCAP - Necrosis , hemorrhage and severe hypoxemic respiratory failure.
Legionella pneumophila Aerobic gram-negative bacillus CAP: only 1% - An important cause of SCAP Transmission through water system 15 serogroups , Serogroup 1 in 70 to 90% of severe respiratory disease T hree atypical CAP pathogens: Mycoplasma and Chlamydophila species Atypical organisms: 8.1 % of cases
Enterobacteriaceae Large taxonomic family of gram Negative bacteria 6% of cases - Increased risk of death Klebsiella species and Escherichia coli Risk factors: previous hospitalization , prior antibiotic therapy, alcoholism, aspiration, and chronic lung disease. More frequently identified in patients with SCAP compared with patients with non-SCAP - Severe disease was an independent risk factor for Enterobacteriaceae pneumonia - Potential for drug resistance to standard CAP treatment regimens
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Colonizes the respiratory tract: structural lung disease, such as COPD , bronchiectasis , and cystic fibrosis, and those with chronic tracheostomy Never occurs in patients who have not been exposed to prior antibiotics. Intrinsically resistant to several common CAP antibiotics 2 to 8% of cases More commonly associated with SCAP than other pathogens - Only 11.3 % of culture-positive cases require ICU admission - Case fatality rate: 50 % of cases - Independent risk factor for death in CAP patients
Less Common Etiologies Histoplasma capsulatum Blastomyces Coccidiodes Pneumocystis jirovecii Nontuberculous mycobacterium

Traditional Diagnostic Testing for Community-Acquired Pneumonia Pretreatment Gram stain and culture of respiratory secretions (SCAP or non-SCAP ) Advantages - Direct sampling from the site of infection - Can be obtained noninvasively (patient who is alert) <10 squamous epithelial cells, and >25 leukocytes Gram stain yield: Sensitivity 45% Specificity 87 to 97% Endotracheal aspirate (ETA ) bronchoalveolar lavage ( BAL) Bronchoscopy with culture (50 % yield in patients without diagnosis by traditional methods) Culture-based testing is more likely to be available in resource-limited settings Low cost. Limitations - Antibiotic receipt prior to sample collection - Transport time - Temperature - Handling in the microbiology laboratory
Blood Cultures Low yield over all in adults with CAP Bacteremia in 14.7% (SCAP) - 7.8 % (non-SCAP) 13.9 % of patients had blood culture positivity with yield increased with higher Pneumonia Severity Index scores Urinary Antigen Testing S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila Detect the immunologically active C polysaccharide of the bacterial cell wall SCAP patients are more likely to have a positive UAT for S . Pneumoniae than non severe cases and that appositive test can improved antibiotic stewardship . Legionella Particularly helpful - 15minutes Sensitivity: 80 - 93 % Specificity: 99 - 100 % 25 to 57% reduced odds of mortality in patients receiving UAT compared with patients who did not receive these tests
