The SOS AMS (Save Our Supply Antimicrobial Stewardship) podcast brings you brief evidence reviews on major infections that contribute significantly to antimicrobial use in clinical practice, all in under 30 minutes. We explore key topics like distinguishing infection from non-infectious mimickers, a microbiology and antibiotics primer, AECOPD, CAP, HAP, Cellulitis, UTIs, Intraabdominal infections, Sepsis NYD, and Bacteremia. Working through learning objectives, we review the pathophysiology of these conditions, best evidence in management, and apply principles learned to patient cases. Written by an ID AMS pharmacist, reviewed by ID AMS physicians, and co-hosted with an ER nurse, these podcasts bring a Canadian AMS perspective to commonly encountered infections.

During this episode of the SOS AMS podcast, Julia and Nicki dive into the diagnosis and management of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). They discuss the pathogenesis, microbiology, and treatment of CAP, with a brief discussion of the role of atypical pathogens. Our hosts then apply principles discussed to a patient case, going from differential diagnosis to management. Check out the clinical decision-making matrix for a summary of our top 3 differential diagnoses, as well as the relevant references at the hyperlinks provided.
The learning objectives for this podcast are as follows:
Identify the mechanism by which patients become infected with community acquired pneumonia (CAP)
Discuss selection of empiric therapy of CAP in the context of commonly implicated pathogens
Describe clinical features suggestive that empiric coverage of atypical pathogens would be necessary
Apply knowledge of CAP to a patient case
