<i>LysM-Myd88^−/−</i> mice demonstrate an attenuated early inflammatory response.

<p>Control and LysM-<i>Myd88^−/−</i> mice were intranasally infected with ∼6×10³ CFU <i>K. pneumoniae</i>. Bacterial loads in lung <b>(A)</b> and BALF <b>(B)</b>, number of neutrophils <b>(C)</b> and levels of TNF-α, CXCL-1, CXCL-2 and IL-6 <b>(D)</b> in BALF of control (dark grey symbols, n = 8) and LysM-<i>Myd88^−/−</i> mice (light grey symbols, n = 8). Data are expressed as box-and-whisker diagrams depicting the smallest observation, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and largest observation. * <i>p</i><0.05, ** <i>p</i><0.01.
