Pneumonia Bacterial pneumonia. This type is caused by various bacteria, the most common of which is streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). It usually occurs when the body is weakened in some way, such as by illness, malnutrition, old age, or impaired immunity, and the bacteria are able to work their way into the lungs.

Pneumonia Other bacteria types that can cause pneumonia include the bacteria that cause so-called atypical pneumonia, Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumonia. The most common cause of viral pneumonia in adults is the influenza virus. A number of different respiratory viruses cause pneumonia in children, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). While viral pneumonia tends to be less severe than bacterial pneumonia, there is a risk of developing secondary bacterial pneumonia when viral pneumonia is present.

Atypical bacterial pneumonias can be differentiated into those caused by zoonotic or nonzoonotic atypical pathogens. Zoonotic atypical CAP pathogens include Chlamydophila (Chlamydia) psittaci (psittacosis), F tularensis (tularemia), and C burnetii (Q fever).

Pneumonia Atypical pneumonias are bacterial lung infections that do not respond to commonly prescribed antibiotics. Examples include: 1  Mycoplasma pneumoniae —a common cause of upper respiratory infections, with an estimated 2 million cases in the U.S. each year; responsible for 15-20% of cases of community-acquired pneumonia.

HIV-Associated Pneumonias The spectrum of respiratory infections ranges from mild, self-limited viral upper respiratory infections to severe, life-threatening pneumonias requiring urgent hospitalization and treatment. In the United States, bacterial pneumonia and Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) are the two most common HIV-associated pneumonias.mong the various opportunistic pulmonary infections, bacterial pneumonia and TB are unique in that HIV infection increases the risk of contracting both illnesses even if the CD4 cell count is relatively preserved (above 500 cells/mm 3).

- Bacterial pneumonia is a bacterial infection of the lungs caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. This organism is a gram-positive, aerotolerant anaerobe. The organism prefers an oxygen free environment, but can live in oxygenated areas, such as the lungs. Haemophilus influenzae can cause the lung infection bronchitis.
