Study shows how meningitis-causing bacteria may sense fever to avoid immune killing

”Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered a mechanism through which meningitis-causing bacteria can evade our immune system.

This may prime their defenses against our immune system and increase their chances of survival, the researchers say. The findings are published in PLoS Pathogens.”
