Group B Streptococci lyse endothelial cells to infect the brain in a zebrafish meningitis model.
To cause meningitis, bacteria move from the bloodstream to the brain, crossing the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier. Most studies on how bacteria cross the blood-brain barrier have been performed in vitro using cultured endothelial cells, due to a paucity of animal models. Group B Strept...
