Popis: The confrontation between humans and bacteria is ongoing, with strategies for combating bacterial infections continually evolving. With the advancement of RNA sequencing technology, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) associated with bacterial infections have garnered significant attention. Recently, long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as regulators of sterile inflammatory responses and cellular defense against live bacterial pathogens. They are involved in regulating host antimicrobial immunity in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Increasing evidence indicates that lncRNAs are critical for the intricate interactions between host and pathogen during bacterial infections. This paper emphatically elaborates on the potential applications of lncRNAs in clinical hallmarks, cellular damage, immunity, virulence, and drug resistance in bacterial infections in greater detail. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and limitations of studying lncRNAs in the context of bacterial infections and highlight clear directions for this promising field.
