Particle-size dependent effects in the Balb/c murine model of inhalational melioidosis

Particle-size dependent effects in the Balb/c murine model of inhalational melioidosis

Deposition of Burkholderia pseudomallei within either the lungs or nasal passages of the Balb/c murine model resulted in different infection kinetics. The infection resulting from the inhalation of B. pseudomallei within a 12 um particle aerosol was prolonged compared to a 1 um particle aerosol with...
