*Since the etiology of CAP is rarely known at the outset of treatment, initial
therapy is usually empirical and is designed to cover the most likely pathogens
Once the etiologic agent(s) and susceptibilities are known, therapy may be
altered to target the specific pathogen
*For patients with CAP who are admitted to the ICU, vancomycin should be
added to the initial empirical regimen.
*Hospitalized patients have traditionally received initial therapy by the IV
fluoroquinolones levofloxacin (750 mg PO or IV qd)]
