Abstract :
Background: Eiological agents of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) are different in different countries. It also varies with time and geographical distribution within same country. The aim of study was to determine bacteriological etiology & profile of CAP. Materials and Methods: The study was done in Department of Respiratory Medicine, IRD, SMS Medical College Jaipur from July 2018 to June 2019. 90 indoor patients above 18 years were included. Routine blood investigations, chest x–ray, sputum and blood pyogenic culture and fieoptic onchoscopy were done. Results: Male preponderance 66(73.3%) with mean age of 47.33 ± 14.99 years was seen. The rate of identification of microbiological etiology was 46(51.11%). Klebsiella pneumoniae 13(28.26%) was commonest pathogen. Conclusion: Literature shows S. pneumoniae as most common pathogen, but higher incidence of K. pneumoniae has occurred in our geographical area
