Average load of bacteria groups at 24 h (A), 48 (B), and 7th (C) day post challenge, and average load of bacteriophage (D and E) in the lung homogenates of 3 mice per group. Bacteria load was significantly lower in the lung homogenate from the mice in the phage-treated group than in the control group. (P = 0.009 and P = 0.01). Bacteriophage load was significantly higher in the infected group than in the non-infected animals (P = 0.002). F TNF-α (pg/mL) levels of mice in different groups in 7th day post challenge
