Depends really... The most common causal agent for pneumonia in a normal person is Streptococcus Pneumoniae, a bacteria. But if it keeps reoccuring there might be some other factors involved. If you take to the booze (i.e. alcohoic) the klebsiella is the usual cause for the pneumonia.

There might be an underlying cause for repeated exposure such as immunodeficiency, so HIV test would be pretty important as well... How do you know it's even pneumonia per se??? The only way to be certain is go to a doctor and give a sputum sample that they will grow in agar and see what particular bacterial colonies form, and if it's in fact bacterial pneumonia. Could be TB or some other infection that you are misdiagnosing as pneumonia. Go see a Doc asap.
