S. aureus ATCC 13709 (Smith) or E. coli ATCC 25922 was mixed with 5% mucin and inoculated by intraperitoneal injection at 2.1 × 106 cfu/mouse (S. aureus) or 2.0 × 107 cfu/mouse (E. coli). One hour postchallenge, mice received IV treatment (vehicle = sterile water) with the test article at concentrations ranging from 0.05−10 mg/kg (S. aureus) or 0.30−30 mg/kg (E. coli). The PD50 in mg/kg was calculated as survival after 48 h.
Lowest dose was 0.30 mg/kg with 100% survival at all doses.
