TABLE 2.
Effect of sequence of rSV(hHN) and S. pneumoniae inoculation on survival
| Infectious agent(s) | No. of survivors/total no. tested | % Survivala | MSD ± SDb |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virus, then bacteria | 0/8 | 0* | 3.6 ± 0.5 |
| PBS, then bacteria and virus | 3/8 | 38* | 4.3 ± 1.1 |
| Bacteria, then virus | 8/8 | 100 | ND |
| Virus, then PBS | 8/8 | 100 | ND |
| PBS, then bacteria | 8/8 | 100 | ND |
*, P < 0.05 compared to singly infected groups.
MSD, mean survival day considering only mice that died after the second challenge. ND, not determined since no mice died.
