Mice were assessed at 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, and 14 days after inoculation. Outcome variables included comparisons among M. pneumoniae strains relative to bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) M. pneumoniae quantitative culture, CARDS toxin\u2013based PCR, and CARDS toxin protein determinations, as well as cytokine and chemokine concentrations. Graded lung histopathologic score (HPS) was also assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measurements and Main Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CARDS toxin concentrations were significantly increased in mice inoculated with strain S1 compared with mice inoculated with M129-B7 or M129-B9 strains. Quantitative M. pneumoniae culture and polymerase chain reaction were also significantly greater in mice infected with S1 strain compared with the other two strains, as were lung HPS and concentrations of IFN-\u03b3, IL-12, IL-1\u03b1, macrophage inflammatory protein-1\u03b1, and keratinocyte-derived chemokine. In addition, a significant positive correlation was found between CARDS toxin concentration and lung HPS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CARDS toxin concentrations in BAL are directly linked to the ability of specific M. pneumoniae strains to colonize, replicate, and persist, and elicit lung histopathology. This variation among strains may predict the range in severity of pulmonary disease observed among patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201001-0080oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,27]],"date-time":"2010-05-27T22:41:09Z","timestamp":1275000069000},"page":"797-804","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Variation in Colonization, ADP-Ribosylating and Vacuolating Cytotoxin, and Pulmonary Disease Severity among\n                    <i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae<\/i>\n                    Strains"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"182","author":[{"given":"Chonnamet","family":"Techasaensiri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Tagliabue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Milan Fondazione IRCCS \u201cOspedale Maggiore Policlinic, Mangiagalli e Regina Elena,\u201d Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marianna","family":"Cagle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pooya","family":"Iranpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathy","family":"Katz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thirumalai R.","family":"Kannan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacqueline J.","family":"Coalson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel B.","family":"Baseman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
