Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Common causes of bacterial pneumonia are Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) and, especially in kids, Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pneumonia is a common lung infection caused by bacteria, a virus or fungi. It often spreads via coughing, sneezing, touching or even breathing, and those who don’t have symptoms can also spread it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. The development of pneumonia requires that a pathogen reach the alveoli and that the host defenses are overwhelmed by microorganism virulence or by the inoculum size. The endogenous sources of microorganisms are nasal carriers, sinusitis, oropharynx, gastric, or tracheal colonization, and hematogenous spread.
