Bacteria are recognized as foreign pathogens that trigger the body's immune response [1], though they can also develop resistance to this response through biofilm formation [2]. Furthermore, bacterial infections like pneumonia can lead to dysregulated immune responses such as ARDS [3], while inflammation serves as a primary mechanism for the immune system to combat bacterial threats [4].
