C. rodentium infection of IL-6-deficient mice. IL-6-deficient (○, – – – –; n = 21) and wild-type mice (●, —; n = 14) were infected orally with C. rodentium and observed for survival for up to 6 wk (A). IL-6-deficient mice showed significantly lower survival than controls (p < 0.01 by Kaplan-Meier survival statistics). Bacterial numbers in fecal and spleen homogenates were determined weekly (B and C). Data are mean ± SEM of at least eight mice for each data point (B and C). *, p < 0.05.
