Fig. 2.
Effect of LGG treatment on BAL cultures in P. aeruginosa pneumonia at 12 h. A, Mice with pneumonia had significantly increased bacterial count in BAL compared with shams (P < 0.02), whereas mice treated with LGG had significantly reduced bacterial load in the BAL (P < 0.02). Shams n = 3 to 4 per group, pneumonia, pneumonia + LGG n = 6 to 7 per group. Data are expressed as the mean ± SE. B, Bacterial growth on representative TSA plates with sheep blood (5%) for pneumonia and pneumonia + LGG groups is shown.
