Fig. 6From: In vivo imaging of the lung inflammatory response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its modulation by azithromycinCytokines concentration in mice BALF after stimulation with P. aeruginosa culture supernatants. Cytokine levels in BALF of bIL-8 transgenized mice 24 h after intratracheally challenge with bacterial cell-free supernatants from VR1 and VR2 strains grown in presence or absence of AZM (VR1 ± AZM and VR2 ± AZM). Data were expressed as FOI over the control (bacterial growth medium TSB) The experiment was repeated 3 times and each point represents the mean ± standard deviation of 8 animals. Results are reported as mean ± SEM and significance attributed when P < 0.05 (*) or P < 0.01 (**).Back to article page
