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.

What is the gram stain of pneumonia?

Pneumonia can be caused by different types of bacteria, so the Gram stain result can vary. Common bacteria causing pneumonia like Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis are Gram-positive, while others like Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are Gram-negative. Gram staining is just one method used in identifying bacteria causing pneumonia, and further tests are often required for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
