Time to death (Survival) of Galleria mellonella injected by biofilm-producing carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from ICU patients with pneumonia.
| Survival (Time of Death) | p-Value | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | SD | Median | IQR | |||
| Poor | 6 | 2.1 | 7 | 7 | 7 | |
| Moderate | 2.8 | 2.5 | 1 | 1 | 4.5 | <0.0001 *,a |
| Strong | 2.1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | <0.0001 *,b <0.0001 *,c |
* Significant ≤ 0.05; SD, standard deviation; IQR, interquartile range; a moderate vs. poor, b strong vs. poor, c strong vs. moderate. Control larvae injected with 10 µL PBS (without Acinetobacter isolates) and the control group that received no injection exhibited 0% mortality.
