Overview
Bacterial pneumonia may be due to a variety of underlying causes. The microorganisms responsible are divided into Typical and Atypical. Typical bacteria often result in a classic pneumonia whereas atypical bacteria lead to a much milder presentation often referred to as "walking pneumonia". These patients appear near normal but have extensive findings on chest x-ray.
Causes
According to Microorganisms
Typical Pneumonia | Atypical Pneumonia |
---|---|
Streptococcus pneumoniae | Legionella |
Staphylococcus aureus | Mycoplasma pneumoniae |
Haemophilus influenzae | Chlamydia pneumoniae |
Group A streptococci | Chlamydia psittaci |
Moraxella catarrhalis | |
Anaerobes and aerobic gram-negative bacteria |
