Figure 4. Protective effect of APS against lethality induced by burned mice with P. aeruginos infection.

BALB/c mice (15/group) were subjected to 10% TBSA scald injury, and intraperitoneal inoculation of P. aeruginosa (2×10⁵ CFU/ml) on PBD 1. Then, mice received intravenous injection of APS (50, 100, or 200 mg/kg) on PBD 2, 4 and 6. *P<0.01 compared with the burn plus P. aeruginos group by the log-rank test. †P<0.01 compared with mice received APS (50 mg/kg) by the log-rank test.
