Changes in the Bacterial Microbiota in Gut, Blood, and Lungs following Acute LPS Instillation into Mice Lungs (original) (raw)
Figure 2
Changes in Lung, Blood, and Cecum Following LPS Instillation in Mice Treated and Not Treated with Antibiotics.
A) Total cells in the BAL following LPS instillation, P<0.05 at 24 hours for the neomycin group versus LPS alone group. **B**) Total PMN in the BAL fluid following LPS instillation, P<0.05 at 24 hours for the neomycin group versus LPS alone group. **C**) Percentage of PMNs in the BAL fluid following LPS instillation. **D**) Total bacterial load in the cecum following LPS instillation. No significant difference was found between groups (P>0.05) E) Total bacterial load in the BAL following LPS instillation, P<0.0001 for the LPS alone group compared with neomycin or streptomycin group. F) Total bacterial load in the blood following LPS instillation, P<0.05 at 4 hours for the LPS alone group compared with neomycin or streptomycin group.
