Figure 2. CNS catheter-associated biofilm infection is associated with attenuated inflammation compared to parenchymal abscesses.

Figure 2

The tissues encompassing the brain abscess and the tissues surrounding the infected catheters were homogenized and the resulting supernatants analyzed for levels of the pro-inflammatory mediators CXCL1 (A, B) and IL-17 (C, D). Raw cytokine/chemokine levels are reported (A, C) as well as correction for disparate bacterial burdens (B, D) * = p<0.05 (n = 12–18 mice/group/time point).
