Preterm birth increases susceptibility to Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteremia. Results of Experiment 1 comparing term (TERM) and preterm (PRE) pigs infused with Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE) or saline (CON) immediately after birth, without any enteral feeding. (A) Survival rates 24 h post inoculation. (B) Motor activity, shown as the fraction of time when pigs were physically moving at 2–18 h post inoculation. (C) Body temperature 2–24 h post inoculation. (D) Blood pH 6–24 h post inoculation. (E) Blood lactate levels 6–24 h post inoculation. (A) Presented as Kaplan Meyer curves. (B–E) Presented as means with corresponding standard errors. (#): Effect of SE (p ≤ 0.1 ≥ 0.05), #: Effect of SE (p < 0. 05), ###: Effect of SE (p < 0.001), ¤: Effect of gestational age (p < 0.05).
