Protocols for the experiments of S. pyogenes-induced murine model. In infected groups, 1 x 10⁶ CFU bacteria were injected subcutaneously using a 27-gauge needle at day 0. In the LCEE-treated groups, mice were administrated with each LCEE prepared from fruits, leaves, or stems (1 g/kg body weight/day) orally.
