Group B Streptococcus Hijacks the Host Plasminogen System to Promote Brain Endothelial Cell Invasion
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of meningitis in neonates. We have previously shown that plasminogen, once recruited to the GBS cell surface and converted into plasmin by host-derived activators, leads to an enhancement of bacterial virulence. Here, we investigated whether plasmin(o...
