Abstract
Background Currently accepted classifications of pneumonia include community acquired pneumonia (CAP), healthcareassociated pneumonia (HCAP), hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Previous studies have shown a high rate of patients with HCAP or HAP caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR). Our aim was to determine the differences in etiology and antibiotic-resistant bacteria between CAP, HCAP and HAP groups.

Accepted classifications of pneumonia include community acquired pneumonia (CAP), healthcareassociated pneumonia (HCAP), hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
Previous studies have shown a high rate of patients with HCAP or HAP caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR)
Compared to the HCAP, Acinetobacter spp. and MRSA were significantly associated with HAP
