Abstract:

Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a common Gram-negative bacterium that causes hospital-acquired and community-acquired infections. Considering the resistance and virulence of Kp, studying its interaction with the interferon signaling pathway is crucial for understanding its pathogenesis and developing new therapeutic strategies. This review discusses the complex relationship between Kp pneumonia and the interferon signaling pathway, which is a core part of the innate immunity that activates various defense genes against pathogens. The activation of the interferon signaling pathway by Kp enhances the antibacterial functions of host immune cells, such as natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages. This review also reveals the synergistic effects of the interferon signaling pathway with the inflammatory and autophagy pathways, which are important for understanding how Kp modulates host immune responses to evade immune surveillance. Finally, this review analyzes the potential applications of the interferon signaling pathway in the treatment of Kp pneumonia. Future research needs to further explore the optimization methods of its therapeutic effects and reduce its side effects, and to cope with this increasingly serious public health issue.

Key words: Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia, Interferon, Signaling pathway, Innate immunity
