Atypical bacteria causing pneumonia are Coxiella burnetii, Chlamydophila pneumoniae (), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (), and Legionella pneumophila.. The term "atypical" does not relate to how commonly these organisms cause pneumonia, how well it responds to common antibiotics or how typical the symptoms are; it refers instead to the fact that these organisms have atypical or absent cell wall ...
Enteric gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, are a group of bacteria that typically live in the large intestine; contamination of food and water by these bacteria can result in outbreaks of pneumonia. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an uncommon cause of CAP, is a difficult bacteria to treat.

Bronchopneumonia is a subtype of pneumonia.It is the acute inflammation of the bronchi, accompanied by inflamed patches in the nearby lobules of the lungs. [1]It is often contrasted with lobar pneumonia; but, in clinical practice, the types are difficult to apply, as the patterns usually overlap. [2]
E.coli is the most common cause of community-acquired bacteremia accounting for approximately 75% of cases. [24] E.coli bacteremia is usually the result of a urinary tract infection. Other organisms that can cause community-acquired bacteremia include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis.
In a specific study, stainless steel was inoculated with 10 7 CFU/cm 2 E. coli and K. pneumoniae, containing bla CTX-M-15 and bla NDM-1 (antibiotic-resistant genes) respectively. Thirty days later (at room temperature, 22˚ C), 10 4 viable cells remained; and, after 100 days, 100 CFU/cm 2 of E. coli remained. [63]
