In most cases (60%), the symptoms of dyspnea, cough, hypoxia, and low-grade fever resolve over 2-4 days.[clincalc.com]
Typical symptoms include rapid onset of dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, fever, cough (often bloody). Salmonella typhi/paratyphi These bacterium produce a spectrum of symptoms classically known as Typhoid Fever (Enteric Fever).[clinicaladvisor.com]

Essentially, all had new lung infiltrates as shown by chest radiography, leukocytosis, recent onset of fever, and increased volume of purulent secretions. Half had multilobar pulmonary infiltrates.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This results in the fever, chills, and fatigue common in bacterial and fungal pneumonia. The neutrophils, bacteria, and fluid leaked from surrounding blood vessels fill the alveoli and result in impaired oxygen transportation.[en.wikipedia.org]

Beta-lactam antibiotics form the backbone of treatment for Gram-negative pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Currently, the successful treatment of hospital-acquired gram-negative pneumonia depends on a clear and consistent definition of the disease process, knowledge that therapy with a single antibiotic is effective, and use of a concise treatment protocol[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Key therapeutic questions are whether beta-lactams can safely replace aminoglycosides for the treatment of gram-negative pneumonia, and whether monotherapy or aminoglycoside and beta-lactam combination antibiotic treatment is superior.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There were no differences in the minor adverse effects observed in the two treatment groups. Overall, aztreonam was superior to tobramycin for treatment of pneumonia due to susceptible gram-negative bacteria in these critical care patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although gram staining of sputum may provide immediate etiologic clues, the diagnosis is proven only by isolation of the pathogen from blood or pleural fluid or by various invasive techniques since expectorated specimens from highly susceptible patients[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
