Lung histopathology and neutrophil influx in antibiotic treated pneumococcal pneumonia. (a) Total lung pathology score and (b) quantitation of pulmonary Ly-6G content 48 hours after induction of pneumococcal pneumonia in wild-type mice (white white, n = 8) and mice heterozygous (light grey white, n = 8) or homozygous (dark grey white, n = 7) for the factor V Leiden mutation treated intraperitoneally with ceftriaxone 24 hours after infection. Data are expressed as box-and-whisker diagrams depicting the smallest observation, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and largest observation. There were no statistical differences between the groups.
