    AbstractDue to the overuse of antibiotics in treatment and regional variation in disease factors, community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has a relatively high morbidity and mortality rate. This study determined the prevalence of bacteria that cause CAP and the rate of antibiotic resistance. From April 2018 to May 2019, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 254 CAP patients at hospitals and medical centers in the province of Vinh Long. Based on interviews and medical records, SPSS 18.0 was used to analyze the data. CAP-causing bacteria, antibiotic susceptibility, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase production of bacteria were determined by performing Identification and Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing on sputum specimens using the VITEK 2 Automated instrument. With a total of 254 patients, the age of 60s accounted for the highest prevalence. Streptococcus pneumonia was the leading factor, accounting for 12.6%, followed by Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 12.2% and 8.3%, respectively. The Enterobacteriaceae group was the highest at 36.5%, followed by other gram-negative bacteria (34%) and gram-positive bacteria (29.5%). Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid ranked the highest in antibiotic resistance, accounting for 31.4% of Enterobacteriaceae and 91.7% of non-Enterobacteriaceae. S. pneumonia resisted erythromycin at a high prevalence (84.4%), followed by clindamycin (71.9%) and tetracycline (78.1%). The age of 60s was the leading group in community pneumonia and had increased resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and cefuroxime.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
