Type IV pili is a critical virulence factor in clinical isolates of <i>Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus</i>

2022-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Hydrocephalus, the leading indication for childhood neurosurgery worldwide, is particularly prevalent in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Hydrocephalus preceded by an infection, or postinfectious hydrocephalus (PIH), accounts for up to 60% of hydrocephalus in LMICs. Since many children with hydrocephalus suffer poor long-term outcomes despite surgical intervention, prevention of hydrocephalus remains param...
