Fig. 5. Efficacy of oral encapsulation formulation on bacteriophage survival in mice.

Fig. 5

Mice pre-colonized with E. coli were orally administered phage formulations (a). Mice were administered either free phage (n = 5), phage encapsulated in uncoated beads (n = 6), a mixture of free phage with empty Layer-by-Layer (LbL)-coated beads (n = 3), or phage encapsulated in LbL-coated beads (n = 6). “LbL-coated” indicates coatings of (polyethylenimine/pectin)15.5 films. Fecal concentrations of lysogens and phage were quantified over time (b). Symbols represent individual mice with bars indicating geometric mean. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
