IAV–Sp coinfection kinetics. Viral titers, bacterial titers, and alveolar macrophages (AMΦ) during IAV infection (75 TCID50 PR8; black squares) or IAV–Sp coinfection (colored circles), where animals were infected with 75 TCID50 PR8 followed by 103 CFU D39 at 3 d (A; magenta), 5 d (B; green), or 7 d (C; blue) pvi. Data are shown for five individual animals with virus, bacteria, and AMΦ simultaneously measured. Dynamics of the model in Equations (1–8) are shown (solid line) for each scenario, and two trajectories with differing values of KM = 7.5e5 (solid) or 4e5 (dashed) are shown for a coinfection at 3 d pvi. (D) Percentage of weight following IAV infection (black squares) or IAV–Sp coinfection (colored circles). Time indicates time postinfluenza infection.
