Splenic cytokine responses in multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa infected mice suffering from chronic colitis. IL-10−/− mice with chronic colitis were perorally infected with a multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (Psae) strain on day (d) 0. Six weeks thereafter (on d42 postinfection; black circles) proinflammatory cytokines including (a) TNF, (b) IFN-γ, (c) MCP-1 and (d) IL-6 were determined in supernatants of splenic ex vivo biopsies. Naive (N) IL-10−/− mice served as negative controls (open circles). Numbers of mice (in parentheses), medians (black bars) and significance levels (p-values) determined by the Mann Whitney U test are indicated. Data shown were pooled from three independent experiments.
