Bacterial pneumonia in pregnancy is the most common fatal non-obstetrical infection and is associated with poorer maternal and fetal outcomes. Risk factors include normal physiological and anatomic changes that occur during pregnancy. In this review, we will discuss the etiological pathogens of bacterial pneumonias in pregnancy and its common complications, including both maternal and fetal outcomes. We will also review the diagnosis and management of bacterial pneumonia in the outpatient and inpatient setting and highlight the major pregnancy and lactation considerations when choosing antibiotic therapies.

Background: Acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) is a significant public health problem in developing countries, including Yemen, especially during warfare. This is because persistent political turmoil impedes ABM prevalence, etiology, and treatment. Here, we investigate the factors associated with mortality among hospitalized children with ABM in a resource-limited setting.

Background: In goats, acute and chronic respiratory infections are often characterized by a rapidly progressing clinical course with little opportunity to develop an effective antibiotic therapy.
Aim: This study aimed to identify spp. in pneumonic goats, assess its antibiotic susceptibility, and confirm the molecular phylogenetics of spp.

Article Synopsis
- Porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) can fight off Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhp) infections through a process called phagocytosis, but the specific gene expression changes in PAMs when exposed to Mhp are not fully understood.
- The study employed differential gene expression (DGE) profiling to identify a total of 975 differentially expressed genes in PAMs at 12 and 24 hours after Mhp infection, with significant involvement in Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis.
- The research is notable for being the first to examine transcriptional responses in PAMs to Mhp infection, revealing five novel genes linked to clinical

Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) is a primary cause of pyogranulomatous pneumonia of foals between three weeks and five months of age. Early diagnosis of rhodococcal pneumonia has always been considered a preferable approach as it can lead to more successful treatment and better outcomes.
