07.07 2022Nankai Team Made a New Progress in the Research of Evasion from the Host Immune System by Neonatal Meningitis-causing Pathogens
Bacterial meningitis is one of the top ten causes of infection-related deaths worldwide which has high rates of morbidity and mortality in newborns and the elderly. Neonatal meningitis-causing Escherichia coli(NMEC) is the leading cause of meningitis in newborns worldwide. The brain was long regarded as a highly immuneprivileged site which would benefits for bacterial survival once they invade in the brain. However, recent studies showed that some cells in brain, including microglia and astrocy
