Abstract: Throughout the centuries-old history of acute pneumonia (AP), this disease was considered exclusively as an inflammatory process in the lung tissue, but in the second half of the 19th century, the intensive development of microbiology marked the beginning of the study of the etiology of AP. The first results of the study of pathogens of inflammation of the lung tissue have already identified the main etiological features of this disease. For example, C. Gram, the founder of one of the directions of microbiological diagnostics, in 1884, based on the results of his work, proved that AP can be caused by more than one microorganism, which excluded the specificity of inflammation in this disease [1].
