Effect of phage treatment on S. aureus bacterial load compared to control and IP vancomycin treatment. Saline-treated mice (control, red); AB-SA01 phage-treated mice (green); vancomycin-treated mice (blue). No S. aureus was detected from uninfected phage-treated mice. The arrows on the horizontal axis indicate the infection date (first arrow, day 0) and treatment start date (second arrow, day 3), respectively. Treatments were applied from day 3 to day 7 of infection, as detailed in the text. The arrow on the vertical axis indicates the infection dose
