Neisseria meningitidis activates pyroptotic pathways in a mouse model of meningitis: role of a two-partner secretion system

There is evidence that in infected cells in vitro the meningococcal HrpA/HrpB two-partner secretion system (TPS) mediates the exit of bacteria from the internalization vacuole and the docking of bacteria to the dynein motor resulting in the induction of pyroptosis. In this study we set out to study...
