Effect of T-HS on lung bacterial burden in the PA pneumonia. Panel A depicts the sequence of interventions in the rat pneumonia bacterial burden protocol. Rats (n = 6 per group) were subjected to either the sham or T/HS protocol over 3 h near the end of which they either received or did not receive IL-6. Twenty-four hr later, rats received a transtracheal inoculation of PA followed by sacrifice 4 h later. Bacterial CFU were counted in lung homogenates. Data are presented as bacteria CFU/gram of lung tissue (mean ± SEM). Bars with paired single or double asterisks above (*, **) differ significantly (p < 0.05, ANOVA).
