Common pulmonary pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus as well as the host-adapted pathogens responsible for health care associated pneumonias such as the carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcesens are able to activate cell death through the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL cascade that causes necroptosis. Necroptosis can influence the pathogenesis of pneumonia through several mechanisms. Activation of this pathway can result in the loss of specific types of immune cells, especially macrophages and in doing so contribute to host pathology through loss of their critical immunoregulatory functions. However, in other settings of infection, necroptosis promotes pathogen removal and eradication of infected cells to control excessive proinflammatory signaling. Bacterial production of pore forming toxins provides a common mechanism to activate necroptosis by diverse bacterial species, with variable consequences depending upon the specific pathogen. Included in this brief review are data demonstrating the ability of the carbapenem-resistant ST258 K. pneumoniae to activate necroptosis in the setting of pneumonia, which is counterbalanced by their suppression of CYLD expression. Exactly how necroptosis and other mechanisms of cell death are co-regulated in the response to specific pulmonary pathogens remains a topic of active investigation and may provide potential therapeutic targets in the future.
