Figure 2

Mean intracellular killing of E. coli B (±SD) by monocytes (in the mononuclear cell suspension) isolated from patients with urinary tract infections before (), during (), and after phage therapy (). Statistically significant increase of IKB observed after EPT compared to the value at the beginning of EPT (Mann-Whitney test).
