Mucosal Lipocalin 2 Has Pro-Inflammatory and Iron-Sequestering Effects in Response to Bacterial Enterobactin (original) (raw)
Figure 6
Enterobactin-dependent K. pneumoniae is defective in colonization.
Colonization density at day 3 after intranasal inoculation with 2×106 cfu of the K. pneumoniae mutants indicated was determined in C57BL/6 mice (n≥5 mice per group). Box and whiskers graph shows the median and interquartile ranges; the dashed line is the lower limit of detection (20 cfu/ml). Siderophores encoded by each mutant are indicated by a plus (+). *** p<0.001 as determined by Kruskall-Wallis Test with Dunn's post test.
