Fig. 5From: In vivo imaging of the lung inflammatory response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its modulation by azithromycinImmune cell recruitment during lung inflammation caused by P. aeruginosa supernatants. Cellular infiltration into the lung of mice intratracheally instilled with bacterial cell-free 10X supernatants from VR1 and VR2 strains grown in presence or absence of AZM (VR1 ± AZM and VR2 ± AZM). TSB is the bacterial growth medium and was used as a control. The amount of white blood cells and neutrophils found in BALF was expressed as number of cells per μl at 24 h post treatment. The experiment was repeated 3 times and each point represents the mean ± standard error of 8 animals. Results are reported as mean ± SEM and significance attributed when P < 0.05 (*) or P < 0.01 (**).Back to article page
