Neutrophil extracellular traps in the central nervous system hinder bacterial clearance during pneumococcal meningitis

Neutrophils are crucial mediators of host defense that are recruited to the central nervous system (CNS) in large numbers during acute bacterial meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
