Our results show that ethanol-exposed mice had a higher pulmonary bacterial burden at 24 hours after infection (Figure 1C) despite increased numbers of pulmonary neutrophils (Figure 3B) and correspondingly higher expression of chemokines involved in neutrophil recruitment, such as Cxcl1 and Cxcl2 (Figure 4A). Here, CXCL1 is linked to infection.
