Figure 5From: Comparative efficacies of different antibiotic treatments to eradicate nontypeable Haemophilus influenzaeinfectionBacterial clearance by antibiotic treatment in the lung. Mice infected intranasally with YS001, YS002, YS005, YS008, YS009, or YS010 were intragastically administered AMP, AZM, CLR, CFPN-PI, LVX (100 mg/kg/day), or methylcellulose (control) once (AZM) or three times (AMP, CLR, CFPN-PI, LVX, and methylcellulose) daily for three days after infection. On day 4 after infection, the mice were harvested, and bacterial loads were determined in lung homogenates. Data represent the means ± SD of five mice per group. *, P < 0.05 (compared with control). **, P < 0.01 (compared with control). ND, not detected.Back to article page
