Caption
A. Schematic representation of the therapeutic effect of SFK2 in piglets. B–E. Bacteria load in the liver, kidney, spleen, and lung of piglets treated with saline and SFK2 (3 mg/kg). Data are described as mean ± standard deviation, n = 5. The different lowercase letters indicates that there is significant difference (p < 0.05). F. Histopathological sections of the liver, kidney, spleen, and lung of piglets in the healthy group (control), the saline group (saline), and the SFK2 treatment group (peptide). Scale bar: 100 μm.
