Lymphatic dissemination is a common route of systemic invasion by diverse extracellular bacteria in soft tissue infection
2025-04-24
Abstract excerpt
Extracellular bacterial pathogens cause an estimated 6 million deaths annually and drive antimicrobial resistance. Systemic bacterial infection is typically attributed to direct blood vessel invasion or intracellular transit, while draining lymph nodes are generally assumed to trap and eliminate extracellular bacteria to prevent onward lymphatic spread. However, we previously demonstrated that Streptococcus pyoge...
