What is the leading bacterial cause of pneumonia?

  1. Staphylococcus aureus

  2. Klebsiella pneumoniae

  3. Strep pneumonia

  4. Haemophilus influenzae

The correct answer is: Strep pneumonia

Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Streptococcus pneumonia for short, is the most common bacterial cause of pneumonia. Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae are also common causes of pneumonia, but they are not the leading cause. Therefore, they are incorrect options. It is important to note that other bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydia pneumoniae can also cause pneumonia, but they are not as common as Streptococcus pneumoniae.
