Pneumonia due to other gram-negative bacteria - what does this mean
Pneumonia caused by other gram-negative bacteria is an infection of the lungs caused by a variety of bacteria, including e. coli, klebsiella, pseudomonas, and enterobacter. these bacteria can enter the lungs through inhalation of contaminated air or aspiration of contaminated fluids, and can cause inflammation and infection of the lungs. symptoms may include fever, cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and fatigue. treatment typically involves antibiotics and supportive care.
What happens during the disease - pneumonia due to other gram-negative bacteria
Pneumonia caused by other gram-negative bacteria is typically caused by the inhalation of contaminated air, which then carries the bacteria into the lungs. the bacteria then attach to the alveoli, where they produce toxins and enzymes that cause inflammation and damage to the lung tissue. this leads to the accumulation of fluid in the alveoli, which can cause difficulty breathing, coughing, and other symptoms associated with pneumonia.
