FTY720 does not lead to an increase in bacterial lung infections after stroke. Mice received FTY720 1 mg/kg (n = 3) or vehicle (n = 10) 2 h after the onset of cerebral ischemia and lung samples were taken for microbiological analysis. Bacterial colonies were counted after incubating 48 h at 37°C. The degree of infection was categorized into four groups and the percental number of mice per group is depicted.
