Abstract

in the lungs at 16 h. Furthermore, bacterial growth was suppressed in the PEV31-treated group, while the PBS-treated group showed exponential growth. Of the 10 colonies tested, four phage-resistant isolates were observed from the lung homogenates sampled at 24 h after phage treatment. These colonies had a different antibiogram to the parent bacteria. This study provides evidence that pulmonary delivery of phage PEV31 in mice can reduce the MDR bacterial burden.
