Fig. 7. P. aeruginosa clearance from the lung at 4 and 24 h following bacterial challenge in wildtype and Mmp28−/− mice.

Fig. 7

Mice were exposed to aerosolized P. aeruginosa, and lungs and spleens (a surrogate marker for bacteremia) were harvested at 0, 4 and 24 h for bacterial counts. Results are expressed as colony forming units (CFU) per lung or spleen. (A) At 4 h, CFU in the lung are significantly decreased in Mmp28−/− mice versus wildtype control. (*p<0.05). (B) There is no difference in CFU from the spleen between genotypes. Data are mean ± SEM, results n=10 mice/timepoint.
