Pneumonia exposure to cigarettes or air pollution, malnutrition, and poverty. The use of acid-suppressing medications — such as proton-pump inhibitors or H2 blockers — is associated with an increased risk of pneumonia. Approximately 10% of people who require mechanical ventilation develop ventilator associated pneumonia, and people with gastric feeding tube have an increased risk of developing of aspiration pneumonia. For people with specific variants of FER gene, the risk of death is reduced in sepsis caused by pneumonia. However, for those with TLR6 variants, the risk of getting Legionnaires' disease is increased. Bacteria are the most-common cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP),
Klebsiella pneumonia Klebsiella pneumonia "Klebsiella" pneumonia (KP) is a form of bacterial pneumonia associated with "Klebsiella pneumoniae". It is typically due to aspiration and alcoholism may be a risk factor, though it is also commonly implicated in hospital-acquired urinary tract infections, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) individuals Individuals with "Klebsiella" pneumonia tend to cough up a characteristic sputum, as well as having fever, nausea, tachycardia and vomiting. "Klebsiella" pneumonia tends to affect people with underlying conditions, such as alcoholism. The cause of the condition Klebsiella pneumonia is "Klebsiella pneumoniae" which is gram-negative, as well as rod-shaped, glucose-fermenting, facultative anaerobic bacterium. In
