Animal Background: Challenge Route: Challenge Dose: Mean Time to Death:
BALB/C, C57BL/6 Intranasal Instillation (IN) Strain Dependent Strain and Route Dependent
Standard Readouts: Other Readouts:
Weights, health and survival Bacterial Assays (MIC), ELISA, Luminex, Flow cytometry, Survival, Temperature (via microchip), bacterial load in organs, Tissue pathology, etc.

Description: Female BALB/c mice were challenged with S. pneumonia via the intranasal instillation (IN). Mice were treated with either saline as control or two different
test articles.
