From: IL-10 plays an important role in the control of inflammation but not in the bacterial burden in S. epidermidis CNS catheter infection

Fig. 4

IL-10 is not needed for S. epidermidis to establish catheter-associated infection in the central nervous system. There was no significant difference between catheter-associated (a) or immediately adjacent tissue (b) bacterial burdens in the wild-type (black bars) versus IL-10 KO (gray bars) mice at days 3 and 7 following infection. Interestingly, 2 of the 12 IL-10 KO mice had no detectable bacteria in the immediately adjacent tissue or along the catheter at day 7, while all 12 wild-type mice had measurable bacteria at that time
