Discussion

Retrospective analysis identifies key pathogens in community-acquired pneumonia, suggesting targeted diagnostics.

Klebsiella pneumoniae and Epstein-Barr virus were frequently detected in community-acquired pneumonia cases.
Regression analysis found that older patients had greater microbial diversity in infections, with significant associations.
The study utilized targeted next-generation sequencing to analyze bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from cohort patients.
Findings indicate that specific pathogens play crucial roles and highlight the need for improved diagnostic methods in CAP.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
