Host Cytosolic Phospholipase A(2)α Contributes to Group B Streptococcus Penetration of the Blood-Brain Barrier

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the most common bacterium causing neonatal meningitis, and neonatal GBS meningitis continues to be an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Here we provide the first direct evidence that host cytosolic phospholipase A(2)α (cPLA(2)α) contributes to type III GBS in...
