A Time Course for Susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus Respiratory Infection during Influenza in a Swine Model
Figure 2
Macroscopic lung pathology in swine influenza, MRSA, and dual-infected pigs. The pathology score represents the sum of lesion scores, graded by different lobes: right and left caudal (0–5), right and left cranial and middle (0–10), and accessory (0–5) lobes. Days after SIV infection are indicated on the -axis, and average score on day of harvest is depicted on the -axis. Average lesion score is depicted for MRSA only (), SIV only (), and dual-infected animals (). Asterisk indicates a value of <0.05 for MRSA compared with animals dual-infected on D4. Values represent mean with standard error.
