V. cholerae concentration (CFU/mL)	G. mellonella mortality (%)
	24 h	36 h	48 h	72 h
Control (PBS)	0	0	0	0
2.4 × 106	33.3	73.3	86.7	100

V. cholerae O1 was cultured in 5 mL of LB broth at 37 °C for 3 h and the concentration of cells was adjusted in PBS. Fifteen of G. mellonella were injected in each concentration
