  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The strategies deployed by antibiotic‐resistant bacteria to counteract host defences are poorly understood. Here, we elucidate a novel host–pathogen interaction resulting in skewing lung macrophage polarisation by the human pathogen <jats:italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae</jats:italic>. We identify interstitial macrophages (IMs) as the main population of lung macrophages associated with <jats:italic>Klebsiella</jats:italic>. Single‐cell transcriptomics and trajectory analysis of cells reveal type I IFN and IL10 signalling, and macrophage polarisation are characteristic of infected IMs, whereas Toll‐like receptor (TLR) and Nod‐like receptor signalling are features of infected alveolar macrophages. <jats:italic>Klebsiella</jats:italic>‐induced macrophage polarisation is a singular M2‐type we termed M(Kp). To rewire macrophages, <jats:italic>Klebsiella</jats:italic> hijacks a TLR‐type I IFN‐IL10‐STAT6 axis. Absence of STAT6 limits <jats:italic>Klebsiella</jats:italic> intracellular survival and facilitates the clearance of the pathogen <jats:italic>in vivo</jats:italic>. Glycolysis characterises M(Kp) metabolism, and inhibition of glycolysis results in clearance of intracellular <jats:italic>Klebsiella</jats:italic>. Capsule polysaccharide governs M(Kp). <jats:italic>Klebsiella</jats:italic> also skews human macrophage polarisation towards M(Kp) in a type I IFN‐IL10‐STAT6‐dependent manner. <jats:italic>Klebsiella</jats:italic> induction of M(Kp) represents a novel strategy to overcome host restriction, and identifies STAT6 as target to boost defences against <jats:italic>Klebsiella.</jats:italic></jats:p>
