Pneumonia is a serious respiratory illness that poses a great threat to human life [1]. A prominent example is Coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia, which has infected over 500 million individuals and caused 6.25 million fatalities [2]. Pneumonia can induce cough, fever, respiratory failure, infectious shock, and even death [3]. When pathogenic bacteria enter the bloodstream, they can cause complications such as sepsis, myocarditis, meningitis, otitis media, and sinusitis, among others [4].
