Evaluation of the survival rate against A. baumannii-induced sepsis after OMV immunization in mice. (a) The programme of OMV immunization and bacterial challenges. OMVs were immunized as previously described, and then, a lethal dose of A. baumannii was injected intravenously into immunized mice together with sham-immunized mice. The survival rate was monitored every 12 hours for three days after A. baumannii challenge. (b, c) Determination of the lethal dose of A. baumannii ATCC19606 or strain JU0126 in mice. (d, e) Survival rates of immunized mice challenged with A. baumannii ATCC19606 () and strain JU0126 (). All data are obtained from at least three independent experiments.
