Meningitis pathogens evade immune responses by thermosensing

2019-03-24

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of death and disability in children worldwide. Two human restricted pathogens, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae , are the major causative agents of bacterial meningitis, attributing to 200,000 deaths annually. These pathogens are often part of the nasopharyngeal microflora of healthy carriers. However, what factors elicit them to disseminate and cause inva...
