Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a type of pneumonia that occurs in individuals who have not recently been hospitalized or lived in a long-term care facility. It is typically caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections and often presents with symptoms such as cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most common bacterial pathogens responsible for CAP. Treatment usually involves antibiotics for bacterial infections, along with supportive care.
