Fig. 2From: IL-10 plays an important role in the control of inflammation but not in the bacterial burden in S. epidermidis CNS catheter infectionAn increase in certain pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines is observed, similar to previous studies with S. aureus. Catheter-associated infection in the CNS with S. epidermidis results in an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β (a); IL-6 (b) and chemokines (CXCL1 (c); CXCL2 (d). Results were normalized to the amount of total protein recovered to account for differences in tissue sampling size. *p < 0.05Back to article page
