However in some cases pneumonia can be caused by parasites like the hookworm. These are multicellular.

As you might think, bacterial infections are caused by bacteria and viral infections are caused by viruses. Infections caused by bacteria include strep throat, tuberculosis and urinary tract infections. Diseases that result from viruses include chickenpox, AIDS and the common cold.
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that thrive in many different types of environments. Some varieties live in extremes of cold or heat, while others make their home in people's intestines, where they help digest food. Most bacteria cause no harm to people.
Viruses are even smaller than bacteria and require living hosts - such as people, plants or animals - to multiply. Otherwise, they can't survive. When a virus enters your body, it invades some of your cells and takes over the cell machinery, redirecting it to produce the virus.
Perhaps the most important distinction between bacteria and viruses is that antibiotic drugs usually kill bacteria, but they aren't effective against viruses. In some cases, it may be difficult to determine whether a bacterium or a virus is causing your symptoms. Many ailments - such as pneumonia, meningitis and diarrhea - can be caused by either type of microbe.
Inappropriate use of antibiotics has helped create strains of bacterial disease that are resistant to treatment with different types of antibiotic medications.
Bacterial infections are caused by bacteria and Viral infections are caused by Viruses. Unlike bacteria, Viruses need a host to survive, so viruses latch on to a body's cell, and inject their genetic code inside of it. Then that body cell send out more virus-infected cells. Which leads on to producing more and more virus cells. Bacteria on the other hand are their own cell, and do not need a host. They occur by a bacteria entering the body, and not getting defeated by the immune system's Killer T cells, which destroy bacteria. Your immune system has cells called "B cells," Some of those B cells make antibodies when they come in contact with a virus, bacterial infections occur when a B cell comes in contact with a bacteria it doesn't recognize, and by the time your B cells start producing antibodies for the bacteria, you're already sick.

Don't waste time with natural cures for pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection of your lungs with bacteria, that are in varying degrees of hardness, including some who can live without any oxygen. All require a dose of antibiotics that is tailored to that specific organism, therefore you need to send a sputum sample in so that the specific type of bacteria can be found and appropriate treatment given. If you do not, your lungs can be permanently damaged and the infection can spread through your body, e.g. sepsis.

This novel type of court case has been used in the past. You have to have a knowledgeable attorney who is willing to forge a new path in the practice of law.
