1 Peritoneal fluid samples from all groups of mice were diluted in LB medium (1:200), and 10 μl of diluted samples were streaked on agar plates using calibrated loops. CFUs were scored 18 and 36 hours following bacterial challenge and recorded as CFU/ml. The results represent the average of two experiments (n = 4 for each group) ± SEM. 2 N/A: Not assessable since all mice were dead within 18 hrs.
