"Cavitation associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is separately discussed in the pulmonary tuberculosis article."
"Albeit rare, cavitation is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, and less frequently Aspergillus spp., Legionella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus 4."
"Although the absolute cavitary rate may not be known, according to one series, necrotising changes were seen in up to 6.6% of adults with pneumococcal pneumonia 7. Klebsiella pneumoniae is another organism that is known to cause cavitation 8."
