(A,B) Bacterial counts in lungs 48 h post-infection and survival of mice (n = 10 per group) challenged i.n. with 200 CFU (A) or 20 CFU (B) of K. pneumoniae. P = 0.4, 0.8 and 0.7, respectively. (C) Bacterial counts in blood 24 h post-infection and survival of mice (n = 15 per group) challenged with S. aureus (2 × 10⁷ CFU i.v.). P = 0.9 and P = 0.6. (D,E) Survival and body weight of mice (n = 8 per group) challenged with C. albicans (5 × 10⁵ CFU i.v. in D and 2 × 10⁵ CFU i.v. in E). P = 0.1, P > 0.1 and P = 0.8, respectively.
