A patient was admitted yesterday to the hospital for treatment of gun shot wound. The patient has also developed a productive cough and fever of 103.4 F. The patient is breathing on their own and doesn’t require mechanical ventilation. On assessment you note coarse crackles in the right lower lobe. A chest x-ray shows infiltrates with consolidation in the right lower lobe. Based on this specific patient scenario what type of pneumonia is this?
