What happens during the disease - pneumonia due to klebsiella pneumoniae

Pneumonia caused by klebsiella pneumoniae is an infection of the lower respiratory tract that occurs when the bacteria enter the lungs through inhalation of contaminated droplets in the air. once in the lungs, the bacteria attach to the alveolar walls and release toxins that damage the alveolar walls, resulting in inflammation and fluid accumulation. this can lead to further damage to the airways, leading to difficulty breathing and other respiratory symptoms.
