Answer:

Firstly there are several pathogens that are involved in lower respiratory infection.

  1. <em>Klebsiella pneumoniae</em>
  2. <em>Moraxella catarrhalis</em>
  3. <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Moraxella catarrhalis</em><em> </em>is able to grow on both blood and chocolate agar. Furthermore, these both agar are used to identify gram negative cocci.

<em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa </em>is a large gram negative rod shape bacteria that can only grow well on blood agar.

<em>Klebsiella pneumoniae</em> is a large gram negative rod shape bacteria that can only grow on MacConkey Agar.

Therefore all of these agar are important and helpful to identify pathogens that are responsible for lower respiratory infection.
