The data are presented as the means ± standard error of mean SEM (n = 6). Statistical significance was assessed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test and is represented as follows: ## p < 0.01 and ### p < 0.001 compared to the control; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 compared to the respective antibiotic (Clin/Met)-treated group). IL: interleukin; TNF: tumor necrosis factor.
