Neurotoxicity of Pneumolysin, a Major Pneumococcal Virulence Factor, Involves Calcium Influx and Depends on Activation of p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase

Neuronal injury in bacterial meningitis is caused by the interplay of host inflammatory responses and direct bacterial toxicity. We investigated the mechanisms by which pneumolysin, a cytosolic pneumococcal protein, induces damage to neurons. The toxicity after exposure of human SH-SY5Y neuroblastom...
