Brain endothelium gene expression during group B streptococcus (GBS) infection

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the response of human brain endothelial cells to bacterial (group B streptococcus, GBS) infection. Results: GBS WT strain infection results in a specific gene induction pattern that is different from the pilA mutant, but not other mutants such as pilB and srr-1. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the GBS PilA protein contributes to gene induction in brain endothelium.
