Figure 2From: CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein δ (C/EBPδ) aggravates inflammation and bacterial dissemination during pneumococcal meningitisC/EBPδ−/− mice have less bacterial outgrowth in brain, lung, and spleen at 30 h after pneumococcal meningitis. Bacterial outgrowth in CSF and brain homogenates (A), whole blood (B), lung homogenates and spleen homogenates (C) of wild-type (open boxes) and C/EBPδ−/− (gray boxes) 6 and 30 h after infection. Data are expressed as median with interquartile ranges and 5% to 95% percentiles (n = 12 per group). **P < 0.01 compared to wild-type mice.Back to article page
