Experimental Protection of Diabetic Mice against Lethal P. aeruginosa Infection by Bacteriophage

Figure 4

Delayed phage treatment of diabetic and nondiabetic bacteremic mice. A single i.p. injection of 3 × 109 PFU was administered to bacteremic mice at the indicated times after bacterial challenge. Delayed phage administration rescued significantly higher numbers of nondiabetic bacteremic mice than diabetic bacteremic mice.
