    In 3 sentences or less: Pneumonia can be recognized through its clinical patterns on imaging which may suggest the likely causative organism. An upper lobe cavitary pneumonia with spread to the opposite lower lobe suggests Streptococcus pneumoniae or Klebsiella pneumoniae. Upper lobe lobar pneumonia with a bulging interlobar fissure and lower lobe cavitary pneumonia indicate Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Perihilar interstitial disease or perihilar airspace disease imply Pneumocystis jirovecii.
