FIG 6.

Efficacy of cocktailed phages. The corneas were exposed to 10⁴ CFU of P. aeruginosa strain NE-149 and 10⁹ PFU of phage R18 and/or phage R26. The bacterial counts of the control group and the phage groups were determined. The CFU rate is shown as a percentage of the control CFU. Statistically significant differences between control values and phage-treated values are denoted by asterisks (*, P < 0.05 [determined using Tukey's multiple-comparison test]). Bars indicate standard errors of the means.
