Frederick Griffith, a British bacteriologist, focused on the epidemiology and pathology of bacterial pneumonia. He showed that Streptococcus pneumonia, implicated in many cases of lobar pneumonia,[2] could transform from one strain into a different strain. This was later identified as DNA.
The bacterial growth curve is usually exponential in shape just like most of the living organism.
One crucial structure for bacterial survival is the cell wall, providing shape, structural support, and protection against environmental stresses.
There are 74 conditions that are associated with watery eyes and fever. Viral pharyngitis, acute sinusitis, influenza, aseptic meningitis, and bacterial pneumonia are some of the conditions associated with those symptoms.
that is called the cell wall

Pneumonia is a general term, not a specific disease. There is viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, and a fungal pneumonia, among others.
Pneumococcus is really Streptococcus Pneumoniae and it has a lancet shape and is often paired (which is why it's called a diplococcus, di=two).
Bacterial pneumonia, specifically pneumococcal pneumonia (aka Streptococcus pneumoniae).
It can be viral or bacterial.
Antibiotics can only cure bacterial pneumonia, not viral.
