Neutrophil extracellular traps in the central nervous system hinder bacterial clearance during pneumococcal meningitis

Neutrophils play critical roles in the host response to bacteria, including the production neutrophil extracellular traps (NET). Here the authors show that NET formation in the context of pneumococcal meningitis impairs bacterial clearance and targeting NET formation in this context could be a poten...

Sumario:Neutrophils play critical roles in the host response to bacteria, including the production neutrophil extracellular traps (NET). Here the authors show that NET formation in the context of pneumococcal meningitis impairs bacterial clearance and targeting NET formation in this context could be a potential therapeutic option.
