There are many different germs that can cause pneumonia, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Providers try to determine the cause of pneumonia and design treatment based on the most likely cause. Obtaining cultures, blood, and even urine tests can guide the therapy that is best for a given patient. There is no one best treatment for all patients.
