Although vaccination is widely recognized as the most effective preventive strategy, no vaccine has been commercialized despite more than 50 years of intensive research. While numerous computational studies have screened epitopes from over 25 different\n                    <jats:italic>Klebsiella<\/jats:italic>\n                    protein antigens, none have progressed to vaccine development, underscoring the urgent need for innovative approaches to define the immunological signatures of this pathogen. In this study, infections caused by classical\n                    <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                    (cKp) at distinct anatomical sites were experimentally mimicked in an animal model to investigate antigen-specific host immune responses during infection. Humoral immune responses against major protein and polysaccharide antigens were characterized using immunoblotting and quantitative ELISA, while cellular immune activation was evaluated through lymphocyte proliferation assays. The results revealed the site-specific and progressive antigenic expression patterns of\n                    <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                    , reflecting dynamic host\u2013pathogen interactions across different infection models.
