Dual role of TLR4 in bacterial meningitis through regulating endothelial pyroptosis and inflammatory response during extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli infection

Bacterial meningitis is a severe central nervous system infection with incompletely understood pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in blood-brain barrier disruption induced by extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC). In vitro studies revealed that...
