If you have meningitis you are too unwell to have tumours resected.
It would be surprising if there was an undetected burden of subacute/chronic gram negative bacterial meningitis that was presumably asymptomatic.

Does this suggest microbiota could get into tumours and yet not survive to be cultured in media that should be very amenable to them.
The microbiome has perhaps left a calling card and departed. Alternatively, contamination is more likely to reflect a patient's microbiota.

Thank you Blair, that's really kind.
It was a wonderful meeting and it was a real privilege to be asked to talk at it!
We're really excited about the significant impact of CMV on cancer immunity and will definitely keep exploring this.
