Community-acquired pneumonia constitutes a major health problem worldwide. Objective: to determine the bacterial spectrum in patients hospitalized for pneumonia in a local context. Method: The results of 208 blood cultures, 69 sputum cultures, and 8 samples of respiratory secretions and lung tissue obtained postmortem were analyzed. The positivity index was determined for each method used, as well as the frequency of the isolated germs. The positivity rate for respiratory secretions (postmortem) was 87.5%, lung tissue 75%, sputum 37.6%, and blood culture 10.6%. The isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae (20) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (19) represented 64% of the total isolates.
