Figure 3From: Nebulized antithrombin limits bacterial outgrowth and lung injury in Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia in ratsThe effects of anticoagulants on numbers of Streptococcus pneumoniae colony forming units in (a) lung homogenate and (b) bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), 40 hours after intra-tracheal bacterial challenge. Data represent median ± interquartile range. * P < 0.05 vs. placebo. APC = recombinant-human activated protein C; AT = plasma = derived human antithrombin; CFU = colony-forming units; Hep = heparin; Dan = danaparoid.Back to article page
