Most species of bacteria are harmless and are often beneficial but others can cause infectious diseases.The number of these pathogenic species in humans is estimated to be fewer than a hundred.

If pneumococcal pneumonia is suspected, high-dosage amoxicillin may be used.1,23,26 If M. pneumoniae or C. pneumoniae infection is suspected, a macrolide antibiotic is the drug of choice.1,23,26 Azithromycin, erythromycin, or clarithromycin may be used as a single agent in this age group because all of these agents provide adequate coverage for penicillin-sensitive pneumococcus.1,7,13 Therapeutic options for hospitalized patients are cefuroxime or cefotaxime in addition to a macrolide.15,26, Antibiotic therapy should be continued for seven to 10 days in patients with uncomplicated CAP, although no controlled study of the optimal treatment duration exists.15 Follow-up for outpatients should be done at 24 to 72 hours after diagnosis.1,3,24 Reevaluation is necessary in children who continue to have unresolved symptoms or fever at 48 hours after diagnosis. Why are glucose catabolism pathways ubiquitous, despite the fact that most bacterial habitats never provide glucose? xs [20] reported that, among different highly transformable S. pneumoniae isolates, nasal colonization fitness and virulence (lung infectivity) depend on an intact competence system. xs The updated guidelines do not recommend routine collection of sputum Gram stain and culture or blood cultures in CAP patients who are treated in the outpatient setting.
