Treatment with Lip-TQ, but not with AMX, alleviated the parameters of the CRP and PCT in the mice infected with drug-resistant A. baumannii. On day 5 post-treatment, the blood was sampled from three mice and the levels of the CRP and PCT were analyzed. (A) The CRP in the free TQ- or Lip-TQ-treated mice, (B) the CRP in the AMX-treated mice, (C) PCT in the free TQ- or Lip-TQ-treated mice, (D) PCT in the AMX-treated mice. The data are represented as the means ± SD of three independent experiments. ^≠≠≠ p < 0.001. Normal control vs. saline-treated mice, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.001, *** p < 0.001. Saline vs. free TQ or Lip-TQ treatment groups.
