Failed attempts to establish rat AI model using S. pneumoniae. Daily weight (a), lung CFU/ml after 7 days (b), and Hb levels (c) of rats inoculated with a log-phase culture of 107 CFU S. pneumoniae at day 0 and day 4. The daily weight (d), lung CFU/ml (e), and Hb levels (f) of rats inoculated with a log-phase culture of 106 CFU S. pneumoniae embedded in agar beads. N = 4 and data are expressed as mean + SD (n = 4). ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05
