Bacteria that cause pneumonia can grow in various arrangements depending on the species. For example, Streptococcus pneumoniae, a common pneumonia-causing bacterium, often appears in pairs (diplococci) or chains. However, other bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, typically grow as single cells or in clusters. Thus, while some pneumonia-causing bacteria do grow in pairs, not all do.
