Anaerobic pneumonia
Anaerobic bacteria are common pathogens in lower respiratory tract infections. Usually, the lung infection caused is mainly aspiration pneumonia, which then becomes purulent, forming lung abscesses or empyema. Clinically, 62% to 100% of aspiration pneumonia is caused by anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria account for 25% to 40% of empyema, and in some cases as high as 76%. Due to problems with specimen collection, the exact proportion of anaerobic bacteria in bacterial pneumonia is not very clear. Some studies have shown that anaerobic bacteria account for 21% to 33% of community pneumonia, second only to Streptococcus pneumoniae; in hospital pneumonia, it has been reported to be as high as 35%, but some people believe that this data may be significantly overestimated.
