As a new microbio student I was pleased to be able to obtain a sputum
sample from a patient with pneumonia. Supposing that the infection is
bacterial instead of viral, what types of bacteria am I likely to find in such
a culture? I am expecting several types of coccus but was wondering if I
might be likely to see any others which are not just oportunistic "Johnie come
latelies". Thanks.
