Impact of Neurons on Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> Interactions at the Blood Brain Barrier

2026-07-31

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus , GBS) is a Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen and the leading cause of neonatal bacterial meningitis, a life-threatening infection of the central nervous system (CNS) that occurs when bacteria cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). GBS commonly colonizes the maternal genital tract and is a major cause of invasive neonatal disease, including bacteremia and meningiti...
