Animal grouping. 54 adult male Wistar rats were used for experiments and allocated to the different time points as indicated. Normal-control groups () were administrated with normal saline both intraperitoneally (10 mL/kg) and caudal intravenously (4 mL/kg); sepsis-control groups () were concurrently administrated with A. baumannii ATCC 19606 (10 mL/kg saline containing 7 × 108 CFU/mL) intraperitoneally and normal saline (4 mL/kg) caudal intravenously; sepsis + XBJ groups () were concurrently administrated with A. baumannii ATCC 19606 (10 mL/kg saline containing 7 × 108 CFU/mL) intraperitoneally and XBJ injection (4 mL/kg) caudal intravenously. All rats from each group was survived at each monitored time point.
