Role of Bacterial and Host DNases on Host-Pathogen Interaction during <i>Streptococcus suis</i> Meningitis

Role of Bacterial and Host DNases on Host-Pathogen Interaction during <i>Streptococcus suis</i> Meningitis

<i>Streptococcus</i> <i>suis</i> is a zoonotic agent causing meningitis in pigs and humans. Neutrophils, as the first line of defense against <i>S. suis</i> infections, release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to entrap pathogens. In this study, we investigat...
