Plasma chemokine production is lowest in North American ST28-infected mice, intermediate in Eurasian ST28-infected mice and highest in ST1- and ST25-infected mice during the systemic infection. Plasma chemokine levels 12 h post-intraperitoneal inoculation of mock- (vehicle) or 5 × 107 CFU of S. suis-infected C57BL/6 mice, as determined by Luminex® for CCL2 (A); CCL3 (B); CCL4 (C); CCL5 (D), and CXCL1 (E). Data of individual mice are presented as pg/mL with the mean. Significance between groups is indicated by different letters (p < 0.05).
