Morbidity and lung pathology associated with Acinetobacter respiratory infection.

*Morbidity was recorded daily using a clinical score, which includes mobility, the development of conjunctivitis, and aspects of the hair and ranges from 0 for no clinical symptoms to 4 for maximal symptoms.†Sections of lungs of mice were stained with haematoxylin & eosin and lung tissue damage was assessed using the lung pathology score, which includes alveolar wall destruction, leukocyte infiltration and hemorrhage and ranges from 0 for no pathology to 9 for severe pathology.Values are means ± standard deviations for 8 mice except for LUH8326 at day 3, where n = 4. Values are representative for surviving mice only. NA, not assessable, due to the high mortality associated with these strains.
