Brief description Some bacteria can cause inflammation of the brain (bacterial meningitis). This leads to 170,000 deaths annually in the world. Many patients who survive after antibiotic treatment have lifelong disabilities like deafness, and problems of memory and learning. We aim to show that a certain biochemical pathway in the brain contributes to death and disability, with a view to identifying new drug treatments that can be used alongside antibiotics to improve disease outcomes.
