Explanation

Pneumococcal pneumonia is different from the pneumonia caused by Klebsiella. The disease is characterised by extreme mucoid inflammatory exudates including one or more lung lobes. Necrosis and abscess production are more frequent than in case of Pneumococcal pneumonia. Maximum Klebsiella pneumoniae’s stains are resistant to antibiotics which makes the treatment more difficult.
