Key Points

To examine how small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and the RNA chaperone protein Hfq modulate antimicrobial resistance phenotypes and virulence factors in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP).
Synthesized molecular evidence detailing sRNA-mediated gene regulation and RNA-binding protein interactions in CRKP.
Evaluated functional pathways where the Hfq chaperone coordinates post-transcriptional networks controlling bacterial fitness, antibiotic susceptibility, and pathogenicity.
sRNAs partner with the Hfq chaperone to direct post-transcriptional gene silencing or activation, significantly altering membrane permeability and drug-efflux systems.
Hfq-dependent regulatory circuits control the expression of major virulence determinants, including capsule production and biofilm formation, directly contributing to CRKP persistence during antibiotic challenge.

Implication

Review uncovers regulatory roles of sRNA and Hfq in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, highlighting pathways that drive drug resistance and virulence.
