mortality/aging
• following infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae and S. pneumoniae pneumolysin, mice exhibit an increased survival rate (87% in the case of S. pneumoniae infection at day 5) compared to infected wild-type mice (9% survival at 48 hours in the case of S. pneumoniae infection)
|
immune system
• following infection with PLY, mice do not display the acute long injury observed in infected wild-type mice
• following infection with S. pneumoniae, circulating bacterial counts are reduced
• however, treatment with inhibitors of Map2k3 and Serpine1 increase susceptibility of mice to S. pneumoniae infection
