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

Microorganisms

Typical Pneumonia [1] Atypical Pneumonia [1]
Streptococcus pneumoniae Legionella
Staphylococcus aureus Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Haemophilus influenzae Chlamydia pneumoniae
Listeria monocytogenes Chlamydia psittaci
Group A streptococci Chlamydia Trachomatis
Moraxella catarrhalis
Anaerobes and aerobic gram-negative bacteria

Causes of Nosocomial and Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

Neonates (<4 weeks old) Group B streptococci, Escherichia coli [3], Listeria monocytogenes [4]
Toddlers (2 - 4 years) Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis [4]
Children (4 weeks - 18 years) Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae [4]
Adults (18 - 65 years) Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae [5]
Elderly (>65 years) Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella, Gram Negative Rods (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa)[6]
