Abstract
Changes in the microorganism or in the host have resulted in exciting new aspects of several old pathogens of pneumonia. Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and "toxic strep" are examples of changes in the microorganisms. Host changes have resulted in Mycoplasma pneumoniae now emerging as a cause of pneumonia in the elderly.
