nlrp3 was required for STSLS caused by S. suis P1/7 overexpressing SLY. (A) Cytokine levels in the blood at 6 h post-infection were determined (n = 5). (B) The bacterial load in the blood at 6 h post-infection was determined (n = 5). (C) Blood levels of AST, ALT, LDH, and CK at 6 h post-infection was determined (n = 5). (D) H&E staining of infected tissue sections from mice at 6 h post-infection with S. suis strains. Congestion in the lung and spleen is indicated by a “red arrow”, infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung is indicated by a “blue arrow”, vacuolated degeneration in the liver is indicated by a “black arrow”, and necrosis in the liver is indicated by a “yellow arrow”. (E) Clinical symptom scores of mice infected with S. suis strains (n = 10). (F) Survival of mice infected with S. suis strains (n = 10). Error bars represented the mean ± standard deviations.
