The Effect of Bacteriophage Preparations on Intracellular Killing of Bacteria by Phagocytes

Figure 3

Mean intracellular killing of E. coli B (±SD) by PBMCs isolated from patients with good response to phage therapy before (), during (), and after phage therapy (). Statistically significant increase of IKB observed during EPT compared to the value at the beginning of EPT (Mann-Whitney test). Statistically significant increase of IKB observed after EPT compared to the value at the beginning of phage treatment.
