Craniopharyngioma cystic fluid showed significant antibacterial properties against Gram-positive bacteria. This novel finding has implications in the way we view infections in craniopharyngioma patients. More studies need to be carried out to further elucidate this unique finding and possibly exploit these antimicrobial properties.
