I'm not sure if it lists this in FA, but is Strep pneumonia the most common cause of community acquired pneumonia and S. aureus the most common cause of nosocomial pneumonia?

And what about ventilation associated pneumonia?

Ventilator Associated Bacterial Pneumonias
1. Staph aureus
2. Pseudomonas aeruginosa

You're correct with your first statement.
