From: Pseudomonas aeruginosa toxin ExoU induces a PAF-dependent impairment of alveolar fibrin turnover secondary to enhanced activation of coagulation and increased expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in the course of mice pneumosepsis

ExoU-induced inflammatory environment in mice airways. Concentrations of total white blood cells (A), IL-6 (B) and TNF-α (C) in BALF from PA103-infected mice (n = 24) were significantly higher than concentrations in BALF from control noninfected mice (n = 21) and from mice infected with the PA103 ΔexoU mutant (n = 21). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0,001 when mice infected with PA103 were compared with animals from the other two groups. Data represent mean values ± SE of the results obtained in three different assays.
