Here, compared with PBS injection, intratracheal administration of 500 μg/mL hinokitiol in a pneumococcal pneumonia mouse model decreased inflammatory cell migration and prevented destruction of alveolar tissue (Fig 2) . However, in clinical settings, antimicrobial agents are administrated several times for the treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia, and thus, we next sought to investigate whether repeated hinokitiol injection decreased the bacterial load in (Fig 7; P < 0.05) . The present study showed that intratracheal administration of hinokitiol decreased the bacterial load in a mouse pneumonia model regardless of macrolide resistance of S. In this study, intratracheal hinokitiol administration reduced neutrophil infiltration and elastase release in the lungs of pneumonia mice, consequently diminishing lung injury and pneumococcal DNA detection in serum. ./cache/cord-013265-qrfi6e5c.txt ./txt/cord-013265-qrfi6e5c.txt
