Likewise, antimicrobial resistance has increased in recent decades in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the bacterial isolates, their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and factors associated with community-acquired pneumonia among adult patients in Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec002\"><jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to June 2021. Sociodemographic, clinical, and other relevant data were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire. A total of 312 sputum specimens were collected using sputum cups and inoculated into blood agar, chocolate agar, mannitol salt agar, and MacConkey agar plates, which were then incubated at 37\u00b0C for 24 hours. The bacterial isolates were identified based on Gram staining, colony characteristics, and biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Inducible clindamycin resistance among the<jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>.<jats:italic>aureus<\/jats:italic>isolates was detected by the D-test.
