Mycoplasma (Gram +), Hemophilus (Gram -), Klebsiella (Gram -), Legionella (Gram -) among many that cause pneumonia. Do have another in mind?
yes,Infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae can be highly contagious. It can be spread by direct contact or through contaminated water.

The symptoms are the same as regular pneumonia, but the treatment is with different antibiotics. Also, if you don't have relief from the symptoms in 5-7 days, check in with your doctor. You may need IV antibiotics.
Klebsiella pneumonia is a type of bacterial pneumonia caused by infection with the Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterium, a gram-negative bacteria which is typically carried in fecal material and ingested through accidental aspiration or exposure to contaminated medical instruments. This bacterial infection is usually opportunistic, meaning that it appears in patients who are already battling an existing medical problem or infection, and it can be very dangerous for some patients.
Klebsiella is any one of several rod-shaped bacteria. Some species are found in the intestinal tract and respiratory tract of humans and animals. They can cause illness such as pneumonia or bacterial infections.
I assume you mean bacterial pneumonia, from there it is dependent on what type of bacteria is causing the pneumonia. For example Streptococcus pneumoniae is gram positive, but Klebsiella pneumoniae gram negative.On the whole though, bacterial pneumonia is more typically caused by gram positive bacteria.
