More than one way: The usual way is by inhaling bacteria in the air. Infection can also get into the lungs from bacteria in the blood stream. You may visit this site for more info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pneumonia/symptoms-causes/syc-20354204 Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
