Neonatal Streptococcus pneumoniae Pneumonia Induces an Aberrant Airway Smooth Muscle Phenotype and AHR in Mice Model
Figure 4
Neonatal S. pneumoniae pneumonia promotes AHR development in adult mice. Five weeks after pneumonia, whole-body plethysmography was conducted in mock-infected (control) and neonatal S. pneumoniae pneumonia mice (S.pp) with methacholine. All data are presented as mean ± SD (n=6-8 mice/group). P<0.001, compared to the control group.
