Figure 1. LPT reduces Streptococcus pneumoniae colony forming units during acute pneumonia.
Rats were nasally infected with 1 × 108Streptococcus pneumoniae colony forming units (CFU). At eight days post-infection, lungs were collected and measured for the total number of S. pneumoniae bacteria in the lungs. Data are means ± SE. ** Denotes P < 0.01 compared to control and sham. N=10 rats per group.
