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 |
