The provided reference primarily discusses bacteria associated with pleural infection rather than explicitly stating which bacteria cause pleural effusion in general. However, we can infer some information.
The reference states that Candida mycoderma bacteria and aspergillus are the most common pathogenic bacteria in the context of pleural infections. It also mentions that legionella pneumonia and mycoplasma pneumonia rarely cause pleural infection.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Most Common (Inferred): Based on the reference, Candida mycoderma bacteria and Aspergillus are most commonly associated with pleural infection. However, that doesn't definitively mean they are the most common causes of all pleural effusions.
-
Less Common (Inferred): Legionella pneumonia and Mycoplasma pneumonia are mentioned as rare causes of pleural infection.
It's important to understand that pleural effusion can have many causes beyond bacterial infection, including:
- Congestive heart failure
- Pulmonary embolism
- Cancer
- Autoimmune diseases
Therefore, while the reference identifies Candida mycoderma and Aspergillus as common pathogenic bacteria in pleural infections, it doesn't provide a comprehensive list of all bacteria that can cause pleural effusion resulting from infection or other conditions.
