#Bacterial Pneumonia

Bacterial pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid or pus. It is commonly caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, or Staphylococcus aureus. Symptoms include cough, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. This condition can range from mild to life-threatening, particularly in vulnerable populations. Diagnosis involves chest X-rays and sputum tests, with treatment primarily consisting of appropriate antibiotics.
