Fig. 2. Phage concentrations in lung-derived lethal septicemic (infected) and uninfected mice tissues. The phage was administered intraperitoneally at 6 h after the
experiments started. The mean and standard deviation are shown as a bar with an error bar. (A) Phage concentrations in the blood and organs of the infected and uninfected
mice. Six mice were sacrificed from each mouse group at 48 h after the experiment started. The mean and standard deviation are shown as a bar with an error bar. The
ManneWhitney U test was used to compare the phage concentration data. Significant differences (P < 0.01) are indicated by asterisks. (B) Phage concentrations in the
BALF of the infected and uninfected mice. Phage was administered at 6 h after the experiment started. Four mice were sacrificed from each mouse group at 24 h after the
experiment started. Phage was not detected in the uninfected mice, whereas a high concentration of phage was detected in the BALF derived from the infected mice.
